Look at cabelas.com for their canvas wall tents.  They got some great stuff. Also look at the Alanak. Steve

Cabela’s has wall tents and another nice one is a Montana brand.  The Montana tent probably comes with a stove jack – as they also sell wood stoves.  They also have interior metal frames available as desired. Mine – I had made by a local canvas/tent place – to my specs.  Zippered triangular vents at the apex on each end, floor (of herculite – a double interlocked vinyl impregnated nylon fabric) snapped in place.  Herculite is virtually indestructable – will not burn, tear and is waterproof! – nearly ideal for camping in winter environment. I made the frame for my tent out of 3/4 inch conduit.  Well, the frame consists of a ridge pole – in three pieces, and using a ‘Kings Truss’ design with a 1/4 inch diamter vinyl coated cable.  Works great as the cable takes the load and provides a ‘clothes hanger’, ‘lantern’ hanger, et.al.  The interior vertical support poles for the ridge pole are four piece and made of 1 inch conduit with adjustment for 4 inches in 1/2 inch increcment.  The eight exterior wall support poles are two piece and made of 3/4 inch diamter conduit. —- Jerry/Idaho
