Probably Vango canopies like the Large Canopy or Premium Extension are good place to start as they appear to have the right size and shape, and are very generic.

I too suffer the Weathermasters lack of an extension (never missed one, until we got our Outwell and now I'm a total "canopy convert"). I can't recall any posts that have ever mentioned a particular canopy to go with the Weathermaster, but could be wrong. 

I plan to attach our Outwell Nevada M extension to the Weathermaster by any means necessary (spare guys, bungee cord - I like a good challenge). It wont look pretty, but I'm determined to give it a go the next time we camp in the Coleman - next month fingers crossed.

I hope someone can offer more help than me; but always nice to hear from a fellow owner.

You can get the large vango canopy on ebay for £35 delivered. I bought one for my Coleman Evolva just a couple of weeks ago. 

If, like the Evolva, the Weathemaster is that nice silver/grey colour the Black/Mercury Vango canopy  is a good match as it reverses the colourway of the tent, main fabric black and pole sleeves grey.

I forgot about the Classic Side Canopy. Would blend in with your green Galileo, but then again so would a Vango (if you can find a greenish one).

I can't say the Coleman Canopy grabs me as it doesn't look all that big, but would serve the purpose of housing the stove you are after. It would probably be the cost that would swing me provided they are both easy to get hold of (which Isn't always the case with some Coleman stuff).

As for the demise of the Weathermaster it is now superseded by the Mackenzie Cabin 4 and 6. They are very similar in design and features, although slightly smaller. Well nice tents, but rather pricey at the moment.

To be honest I think Coleman took a bit of a step backward this year by axing at least three good tents, the Matrix, the Evola (very good concept to this tent indeed) and the trusty Weathermaster, and not replacing them with any worthy successors. Maybe their sales were starting to dwindle, who knows?

I was at a Winfields today and had a good look at the Gelert Horizon porch with the Weathermaster in mind.

They will fit the tent with no problems. I think one would fit very well indeed without any gaps between tent and canopy.

Definitely worth considering one of these.
