Canvas.What kind of tent? Canvas wall tent or nylon? Nylon would be a no no for any kind of stove inside.
See @osprey above.Canvas.
You built that?!Get ahold of a 30-35 gallon drum or air compressor vessel and build your own with a vogelzang kit. I just built one for my wall tent. I have about $75 into for materials and was able to scrounge most of it up. If you had to buy a barrel and everything else you could spend as much as $150 on one though. They are pretty proud of the factory ones they sell at the wall tent outfits so it is a pretty economical option.

I did. Mine started as an air compressor tank so I had to cut one convex end off and weld a flat end on. It helps to have some rudimentary fab skills and a welder to add some features but not totally necessary. I have seen some barrel based builds using the vogelzang kit with no flat cooking surface done simply with a jigsaw and a drill and they work fine.You built that?!

They are thicker than a barrel and on par with the thicknesses found on the better wall tent stoves. They are around 1/8" or so. It is a bit of a trade off to keep the weight down and therefore maintain portability.Excellent skills!!!
I really want a mig welder. There so expensive.
So are the walls thick enough on a compressor to hold heat?
