A buddy of mine uses a pop up ice fishing shelter with a hole cut in it for the stove pipe. I’ve camped in it with him a few times and it’s pretty dang warm. This is a good cheap alternative to Arctic ovens or other stove tents with the main drawback being that there’s no floor. It is very easy to set up though which some stove tents (Arctic ovens for example) are not and it’s relatively lightweight. It also has windows which is a nice touch.

As far as size goes, I haven’t used the tents in your pic but from my experience using Arctic ovens and my buddy’s ice fishing shelter, the stove takes up a ton of space especially if you are using cots like we do where I live. A 10 foot wide arctic oven can really only fit two people. I’d go with the bigger tent for comfort. Ice fishing shelters are pretty roomy and we’re able to sleep three in one although one of the cots needs to be taller and able to clear the shorter ones so they can be arranged in a U shape around the stove if that makes sense.
