    If you don't want to deal with a wood stove, skip the genset and ceramic heaters and pick up a diesel stove. They are quiet and very efficient.
    I have a Geo-stove in my 12x14 wall tent. It heats the tent as nice as a wood stove. just light it and leave it.
    There is a good deal on a H45 diesel stove in Craigslist right now.

    I've used a surplus US Army diesel heater and a homemade woodstove made from a beer keg. I like the ability to harvest fuel from the surrounding area but otherwise all advantage goes to the diesel heater. No sparks to ruin your tent, doesn't go out in the middle of the night, easy to start and TONS of heat on demand. They weight about the same but (obviously) you have to haul the diesel in with you.
    Is Justin Competent, or just incompetent?

    Usually put a little wood in the stove at night and let it burn out. Then have a fire bundle made up to put in the stove in the morning, in 10 minutes all is toasty warm again.

    Any wood sove and a good spark arester cap, or burn dry popular wood.
    Best bop right there, key is having the starter kit ready for the morning
    Light the stove, turn on coffee low, pull boots into sleeping bag , hit snooze

    Our local Home Building Center has a wood camp stove on sale $180 ish iirc, decent looking unit, kcar not cadillac
    Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole

    I've got a Yukon 1950. Burns wood, coal or diesel. Love it in my wall tent.

    Picked up the Camp Chef Alpine at Cabelas this morning on sale for $270. Got it home, set it up and lit a fire at 1230. At about 1pm, loaded it up , closed the damper on the door down to about 20% and left it alone. Been going for 3 hours now with now, we'll see how long it burns for.
