Get a tent with a stove jack. Then get a small collapsible wood stove.
How big or how small are these tents ? They make miniature wood stoves.
Ive seen one that was a 5 gallon steel drum in a wall tent that worked great

I'm going with the Ammo Can Stoves and a Good wood stove. I bought 2 (12) people tents from a Pawn Shop for $60 each. Thanks
Better make sure the roof and the floor can take it.
You can do the Jeremiah Johnson thing

Dats really cool
Oldest method I know of is to heat rocks next to the camp fire and bury them under your sleeping area. Or bury your campfire and sleep on that.
Just need to be careful not to burn your tent down or yourself.

Well... there are a couple of short term methods. Heating water bottles and putting them in the tent is a good easy way, but it will eventually get cold again.
Another more labor intensive method is a modified dakota fire hole.
Basically you dig a fire pit, and a trench a little longer than your tent. Take flat rocks and place them over the trench, and then put the dirt back over it. And then set up the tent. The Dakota fire hole works much like a rocket stove. Hot air will be pulled through the tunnel you've created. The rocks will retain heat very well, be sure to cover them with dirt as insulation. They can get pretty toasty. Hope this helps...
NOTE: Be sure to leave some distance between the tent and fire, and if you don't want the tent to smell like smoke put the "chimney" ,portion of the dakota fire hole a bit further from the tent.
