Kerosene would smell up all of your gear stored in the tent clothes etc. wich would decrease your odds for hunting . A wall tent or something similar is the only way to go IMO . The main problem with propane or other liquide gasses are that they produce thier own condensate when burned adding to problems sometimes when you need to drie off clothes or warm up ! I have a 15 by 21 walltent that me and the in laws take hunting in october and the wood burner puts off a nice effective dry heat for heating the bones and drying clothes even in the harshest conditions! There are all kinds of sizes of wall tents that fit all kinds of budgets . I have spent more on tents and propane heating devices then I have on my walltent.Just my 2 cents but I will never agin spend money on a normall tent for hunting ever agin.
