Haha I think I may try using that zipper insert jack and see what problems I need to overcome.
And then may pull the cord and cut a hole in the roof and protect the area etc.

Heated clothes are a much better option surely. Can't think of one advantage of heating a tent over heated clothing other than being able to sit in shorts inside. But the counter to that is when you have to go outside and you're cold.
Ring up a couple of local call girls.

Bad joke deleted Lol. In all seriousness, just keep yourself warm with quality clothing. Maybe a heated gilet or just a hot water bottle stuffed inside your jacket. So much easier than cutting holes in bivvies, erecting flues, keeping the burner going, cleaning it etc, etc. Probably a lot safer too,

@19, nowhere near as much fun though!
Re the tents, I quite like the flue going out of the side, the ridgemonkey bivvy would lend itself to that really well for longer stays.

Agreed on the heated clothing, I use a heated gilet for day sessions etc
But this would be for those longer week sessions and I also like the work of keeping the fire going etc 😎

I'd go the diesel route, there should be no danger of fumes are the air is blown over the self contained heating element, just need a portable power source to get it going, americans use these all the time for camping

Plenty of videos on YouTube of how to make a chimney through the top. Fantastic too.

Funnily enough I was chatting to a chap yesterday who had a small log burner in his bivvy, think it was an old Tempest that he had cut a hole in the top for the flue to go through

Watch the kent survival vid where the pump up tent costing£1750 sprung a leak and collapsed. Scary stuff, could hsve been very nasty.
