Pros and Cons of OneTigris Smokey HUT Ultralight Hot Tent

just burnt in a little Seek Outside stove, the smallest one they make- the Cub; box is 6x6x9", weight with 5.5' of pipe is only 28 oz

will be using it in a SO Silvertip pyramid (two person sand stove, one person with stove); I'm thinking about a little larger shelter in case my wife wants to go and am now convinced this stove will be more than sufficient for a 4 person (two w/ stove) as well

the little stove puts out more than enough heat for this (or similar sized) shelter, easy to put together (and take apart) and so light, it easy to justify bringing it

Bic lighter for scale

I have been fiending to get out and do some winter camping in a hot tent since I stumbled across some YouTube videos on it a while back. I also like projects and not spending $400+ on a lightweight tent stove (Yet) so I decided to build my own.

I saw a video where a guy used steam table pans to create a stove and decided to go that route for my first stove. I of course am adding my own twist on it and making little improvements where I can.

My version has a 3" start collar where the pipe is going to attach so I didn't have to try and form a fit there with a hammer and a jig. The restaurant pans are fairly sturdy and this was just an overall easier option. I also sealed around the stove connection with some high heat RTV sealant just for peace of mind and to limit any leaks in that area.

I am thinking about getting into hot tenting for winter camping and the prices on stoves seems really high $400 plus on some. Any suggestions on affordable brands? How good are homemade stoves compared?

Pic is of a new hammock hot tent that I recently sewed. It measures 9'x12' and is 7' high. Weight comes in at less than 10 lbs. All that remains is to sew in my stove jack on the one end, and it is complete.
It is positively spacious inside. The top is 100% cotton. There are two colors on the top because there was not enough of the stark white cotton to make the tent the size I wanted to, so I used some other cotton that I had on hand.
Bottom is a silpoly that I got from Rip Stop by the Roll for a very good price. It was supposed to be a second, but I can't find a flaw on it. We are supposed to get rain later today and I think I am going to leave it up to see how waterproof it is.
Stretched a tarp over it because it is supposed to rain tonight.
Update: Slept out there and got up to an inch of new, wet, heavy snow. Tent held up fine.

Will the collapse tent stove be not strong enough?

I have bought stainless steel and iron ones, both of which are good. I want to understand why titanium stoves are popular.

Is it really fireproof and hot?Why does it turn black when I burn it with a lighter?

Specifically, I want to understand the difference in deformation and heat conduction between these two thicknesses of stoves.

The small holes in the middle of the stove jack fireproof cloth on the market are all fixed sizes. Is there one that can be cut by yourself?
