Canvas and cast do the heavier cotton (350g) and they also do a tan colour (more of a grey though) You can buy it in green though if you contact them which may be more practical (you dont have to have the assorted colour panels, they will do the whole tent in 1 colour)

But the cream is nice inside, especially in the sunny weather

A 4 meter tent will have room for the wood stove (the inner fits half the tent, so the stove would just be positioned in the outer part - just make sure you clear the inner sufficiently)

this is my 4 metre with stove, it could have been moved round 1 more panel to the front to give better clearance if I use an inner tent

more obvious in this picture - the stove could go in the panel next to the main door, although it may need strengthening as there is a window positioned here

Good luck with whatever you decide!

Hi

I haven't had any problems with smoke drawing back in, but a chimney going straight through the roof is always going to be more efficient.  This particular flue system was designed for a bell tent though. 

The tent was an ebay buy, shipped from china no doubt and no particular make!  Somebody bought 40 for a wedding party, then sold them after one use for £170 each.  At that price I toook a gamble and painted it!

The inners do make a huge difference to warmth, but I like the tent without whenever possible

The obelink one is the same as belltent.co.uk though, canvas weight is less at 285g

Tina has a canvas and cast tent, I'll get her to comment on the entrance!

Val why is there a dead tarantula hanging from the lantern hook outside your tent?
