Watch this comparison between two major tents used in the industry.

The stove is just for drying gear and cooking. You have to take a properly rated sleeping bag. If you're counting on the stove to keep you warm you're going to be constantly fiddling with it.I had similar results and personal likes/dislikes.
The deal breakers for the tipi where we were on level ground, but a heavy rain came through and put a small stream through our tent and got gear wet. (To where we had to pack out, drive to town an hour away and dry gear in a hotel room. Cost time and money from the hunt). The other challenge is as you stated, you need to constantly stoke the fire at night to keep you warm. For me, the added warmth was not worth the loss of sleep.
Maybe if one were truck camping, having a larger stove to put larger pieces of firewood in could be an option. But, not for backpack hunting.
Thanks for sharing.
