Assuming you know what you're doing and all... I use stoves inside tents, and have no plans to stop doing so. Especially in the winter time.

But said stove isn't use to HEAT the tent. It is used for cooking. Now in a small tent it gets pretty nice warm and cozy when you heat water with a 3kilowatt stove. But that isn't the main purpose of the stove, just a nice side effect.

Stoves inside tents isn't what I call easy going. It requires care and consentration. CO poisining is one danger you MUST take seriosly. That, and don't burn yourself, or your equipment.

For sleeping warm and snug you bring a sleeping bag + clothing, both appropriate for the season. And sleeping pad.

If the weather permits, melting snow can be done outside of the tent, you just dig a pit and put the stove there. This also means you can start melting water _*before*_ you pitch your tent. You need lots of water, and melting snow is slow going.

Now the optimum luxury is of course heating a large tent with a wood stove with chimney. But with our stove you need one pulk for the stove and some firewood... most likely you need at least another sack. And the cotton canvas tent is another pulk... so it's not exactly easy going.
