I have used quite a few different models of hot tents, ones that you build a frame with poles you cut from the woods, ones that have center poles and stoves, ones that resemble a teepee, and also, very lightweight, nylon hot tents.

For the type of winter camping I enjoy, nothing beats my Snowtrekker® 8x10 Crew

The poles are easy to assemble into the A frame, and draping the tent over is easily a one person job.

The size is perfect for 2 people, or 1 and a dog.

The placement of the stove is perfect, out of the way, and still close enough to each person to be more than efficient.

The lightweight, easy to pack tent and stove is a source of warmth and security in the cold winter months.
