I decided to put the new tent up today and see how the stove fits. I will do a review on the resources section next week. Managed to cut the opening in the stove jack for the chimney and try out the inner tent. There are a few small changes to make such as changing the peg loops for bungee elastic and cutting a footprint groundsheet. Packed size of the tent is 36cm X 27cm diameter 1.53kg. Inner tent 30cm X 12cm diameter 636 grams. Pictures show front and back with and without the stove. Not fired the stove up yet but probably do it next week.

The brand name is Mountain Cattle. I bought it via Ali Express. It is clearly a Chinese manufactured item but seems to be quite well made. The outer was about £70 and the inner £30. Free shipping from China took about three weeks. I had looked at the One Tigris Iron Wall but this seems to be similar, but has two doors and comes with a stove jack.
 
Proper job Dick......and a reasonable price too :thumbsup:
Drop the sleeping pod during the day....... and fold it into the bathtub.....move it to the rear of the tent and you will have plenty of room for a comfy chair to sit and read/carve....cook.......if the weather is crud. :thumbsup:
Two minutes to put it back up again before dark.

Stove looks to be the perfect size for it.

Very nice.
 
Now he asks me after I've taken it down!
I will be putting it up again tomorrow or Monday and will measure it then.
The advert blurb says 400 cm across the points and 220 cm tall. I will measure and let you know.
