Teepee tent is lined with cushions around interior floor perimeter for seating. At center of teepee floor is wood/charcoal stove or firepot with low round table-frame positioned over it. Quilt is draped over table-frame, and round tabletop is placed on top of quilt. Central stovepipe extends upward from firepot, through hole in quilt and tabletop, and out through top of teepee.

Alternate configurations could be for igloo shaped tent, or a yurt.

       Whilst not widely known to exist here in the US, I found one on a hotel rooftop in Kyoto! I still like the idea of a teepee, so here is a warmed up bun.+

       Thanks! My idea was originally to have a picnic table snugly under a standard prism-shaped tent, with a trough-shaped fire pit underneath, but I couldn't figure out how to deal with the smoke problem. So I decided to switch to the round teepee with central stovepipe surrounded by round table. I guess a round igloo/dome shape, or even a round yurt, would work just as well.   

       The main point would be to have a space-efficient and energy-efficient enclosure for a camping group to enjoy. Different people also have different temperature tolerances, and those who want more warmth can place more of their body under the table, while those who feel too warm can place less of their body near the table.

       Yeah, that's okay for indoors - I was thinking for more of a cold weather camping situation.

       That feeling you get when you tell your therapist about your recurring dreams of becoming a teepee or a wigwam and he tells you relax because you're just being two tents.
