Thats right, I forgort you got the cimmaron....
The super tarp didnt show up again yesterday like it was supposed to....silly UPS
@huck72412 I dont think will drive up my muddy road for some reason, its not even that bad of a mud season, they're getting soft!
I honestly think the Lite Outdoors xl 18 is going to be too big for any of these shelters. I think they reccomend them for something like tents with a 12' diamerter? I think you will be bumping into the thing regularly getting in and out of the tent, and it will take up a significant amount of the sitting room you're looking for. The CC Divide reccomends the 12" lite outdoor stove. The sawtooth offers the 18" smith with it, which I Think would be comparable to your LO 18". The Sawtooth is a much larger area around the stove
There's also a jimmy tarps alpine basin over on ROK for sale with a stove jack. Very similar to the super tarp, but with entrances on both sides and vertical ends. the foot box is also higher. ITs a pretty sweet deal, I think the guy wants like $250 for it. I"ve been eyeing it as I really like the double entrances, but it cuts down on the versatility I was looking for in the super tarp....
My problem with going with a too large of a shelter is setup space. THe footprint is just as important to me. The super tarp should be able to be tucked in between some trees because of it's narrower width if needed. think 68" width Vs. even the 9' width I need for my Bt-3. I think your cimmaron is probably similar in sizein that it is over 8' in one direction, and over 9' in another....thats a pretty big open area needed. Not sure of where you plan to use it.
Give it a little time, once my super tarp is here, I'll set it up with the LO 12" stove and a chair and shoot some pics for ya, and take some measurements. You may end up wanting a smaller stove. I think the medium sized stoves from all companies are the most versatile. They seem like they would be usable in the widest variety of shelters.....
In that case you decide on a smaller stove, you could probably sell your cimarron with the stove as a set, so you might want to wait a little....
