Most modern cookers are designed to burn clean when there is a pan on the supports. Attempting to heat your tent with one is not a good idea. You might want to look at portable heaters.

You will also have condensation problems . you must have good ventilation using gas in a tent because of fumes , so not really a good idea .

Don't know how it would be in your tent, but ours gets really bad condensation with those heaters. Would still use one rather than be cold though!

I'd suggest hookup plus normal fan heater with variable thermostat.......used to use this all of the time, warms up the tent quickly and can leave it on overnight.

Interestingly, on another thread about fumes, it was quoted, that with pots on the cooker, ten times more fumes were created. I think it was a trangia stove army test

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.
