I got one of the Gelert type gas heaters for my Oztent. Didn’t run it all night, just to heat up for a half hour before bed, and within easy reach of my bed for the morning. Simple twist and it’s alight, no faffing around. A Jetboil or Brukit and one of these, it’s tea and toast in bed. 
When I changed the Oztent for a 4m belltent, I very nearly went with the romantic notion of fitting the flashing kit and putting a stove in, but a couple of things put me off. Losing possibly a third of our living area to red hot metal stood on some sort of fireproof covering, having to get out of bed to fiddle with stove vents, ventilation, or add wood, getting out in a freezing cold tent to start a fire to warm it in the morning, CO leakage as the fire goes down to ash and draws less.
Ok, these will obviously produce CO and need some ventilation, but it’s handy knowing it’s switched off before sleeping, and really handy to spark it up in the morning.
