Well dangit, my last post got chopped off. Surely my fault.
Since you are in a tent this won't help, but for anyone else.... or you in the future....
You can buy a diesel heater for $125.00 - ish, they are made to be mounted permanently or temporarily to a vehicle such as a camper, possibly a building of some sort. Lots of possibilities.
There are tons of youtube videos of van dwells, schoolie bus folks, etc, going out on the road as cheaply as possible and freezing their ***** off. The diesel heaters mount outside, draw in fresh air, send the heat inside, and the exhaust is vented outside away. Pretty awesome little inexpensive heaters, and they can make a lot of good comfortable heat at a very low cost, don't use much fuel either.
Plug in "diesel heaters for vans campers rv's" on Youtube. There are tons of interesting videos.
I'd have no qualms at all using one, but I'd dang sure have a carbon monoxide detector running too.

I know I posted about Coleman lanterns being on sale for 66 bucks on Amazon some posts back. But right now they’re discounted even more at $53 for a new lantern with a carry case. Can’t beat that with a stick. I don’t need them but I just ordered two more.
I ordered one at each price.
I sure didn't need them and I'm not crazy about the Schrader valve lanterns but that was a good price.
Coleman Premium Dual Fuel Lantern with Hard Carry Case https://a.co/d/9DCQrfV
its just giving me the option to buy two for $328
I guess the link doesn't work anymore then.
Must have sold out. Or realized that they made a pricing mistake. I'll have to keep an eye out. Coleman is selling the dual fuel with a carry case on their website for $86 or so, still seems like a decent deal.
It fluctuates up and down. It might go back down , a lot of folks had the same problem on Coleman collectors forum and it went back down once the clicks slowed down.
