I looked at REI for a tent heater but I came up blank. I'm frankly surprised, but I guess too many people have burned or suffocated.
If your tent has a alcove you can use a hobo stove to warm it up a little bit. What is a hobo stove? It is a tin can with a large hole punched in the side near the bottom. You can fuel it with sticks or twigs, but I prefer alternative fuels such as wax fire starters. If you keep the flames inside the can, the fire is nearly invisible to those watching/trying to locate you.

Ok what you do is go out and get yourself a buddy heater. Search google. Its basically a heater that runs off of the small propane tanks. Heres a picture of one:

They're safe too. It has an automatic sensor that cuts the unit off if it gets too hot arouund the heater. If it gets knocked over it has a cut off switch too.
Anyways. Yeah thats how you do it.
This heater screams carbon monoxide poisoning

My thoughts exactly. That's a garage heater, not a tent heater.

Oh shit!! Sorry guys thats what i forgot to add!
It has a carbon monoxide sensor that auto-shuts off This is literally the new age of safe heaters.
Read up on them. Buddy heater
The Portable Buddy uses an Oxygen Depletion System (ODS) which is a safety device used to light the heater as well as shut it off if Oxygen levels drop
My uncles ran one in a large domed tent all night long with no problems whatsoever.

Good idea, wonder how much dirt back over the rocks would be appropriate. 2-3 inches or so, wouldnt want to wake up to the bottom of my tent being melted open.
That heater sounds pretty slick. I've slept at some cold ass gatherings and all you need is a good bag and a blanket...I do need to get the feet heat down tho.

Rip a huge fart. That will warm you right up
I remember my grandfather made a tent with a little stove in it, pretty safe if you put the fire out before you go to sleep.
