Tipi style wall tent?

Just spent a week camping, and took some pics of the little setup I had previously described for reference.

Had this thread in mind so I paid more attention to the heat from the stove with relation to the floor. Even with the stove running wide open, the cookie sheet never gets hot to the touch and if I stick my fingers underneath, the floor is still cool to the touch. It basically just reflects the heat back up as far as I can tell. Definitely protects the floor from the sharp corners on the stove feet.

Anyway, my experience with stove on a floored tent fwiw.
looks like a propane stove, right? Why not just a little buddy type?
 
I believe she mentioned elsewhere that it was a Nu-Way stove. I've never used one, but I've read they offer better heat output and better management of exhaust/venting.
 
What kind of stove is that? It looks like something better than what i currently have.
Nu-Way propane.

Eliminates the condensation problem. Have used a Little Buddy a lot with the tipi because of that usable space issue, and everything would end up damp. Used it once or twice in this tent too, with similar problem. This setup is far superior IMO.

Have made quesadillas on it in the ice house and heated soup and stuff, which is a nifty little side benefit over the Little Buddy as well.
 
I’ve got a 14x20 and a 16x12 wall tents from MT Canvas. Great Wall tents. Also have the 12x12 spike tent. Easy set up on the spike tent. Good for two cots/two chairs and small cooking table and an Utah cylinder stove. I prefer to cook out side of the spike tent however. When I hunt by myself I use the spike. 2 guys and five nights or less I use the spike tent. Two guys or more five nights or more I use one or both of the wall tents. Nice to have options. Really like the spike early season or by myself. At 70 I don’t like lifting 80 to 100 pound tents up on the ridge pole to set up.

The arctic oven hot tents are pretty legit. Kind of the middle ground between a light tipi and wall tent. Hunted out of one late rifle a couple years ago. I'm with @Irrelevant on the tipi's. They work fine for what they are but if I'm truck or horse camping i'd prefer a wall tent or one of these dome style hot tents. The material they use for the dome style tents seems to stay pretty dry on the inside and it’s tall enough to stand in. We had a storm come through and were living like kings in that thing. I think they would be ideal for late 2-3 night rifle hunts from the truck or late backcountry hunts off horses. Plenty or room for two guys, stove, a couple cots and the basics. If I'm tuck hunting late for 4+ nights, it's hard to beat a wall tent.

They came out with this one as well that seems like a good middle ground:

I've had one or more of these in my cart since you posted a link... They are everything I want for a tent, but I don't really need it until my current one dies, and it's built so damn good I'm not sure that it won't outlast me!
