The ideal heater would be a gas or propane one that is efficient enough to run all night on a small cylinder. I'm sure it could be done. We used to heat our pup tent in the Army with a candle - enough to take some of the chill out of the air. I'll wager with today's radiant technology, a small backpacking gas stove could be engineered.

I have one of the chinky diesel heaters mounted in my truck for camping. It will run for over 40 hours on the lowest setting on two quarts of diesel.
