As the title states, at what general temperature range do you switch to a heated shelter?
 
Moisture/snow is more of a trigger for me. If your boots are going to get wet, then freeze over night, the hot stove makes a big difference getting them back on. Cold and dry not as big of a deal. Either way make sure you have a sleeping bag/quilt rated for less than the lows expected, the stove will go out.
 
So you guys just cowboy camp then if its dry?

I get the moisture/rain/snow part of the equation but it is interesting to see the outright temperature not really being a factor.
 
Its more of a moisture thing for me as well. Temps could be moderate, but if it going to be raining quite a bit, I'll consider the stove. Day time temps could be a factor as well. If the daytime temps are pretty warm, I can work with some low temps that don't arrive until late at night.
