that can work and much safer than inside your tent... if you read the warning labels, they typically say nothing in front of it for 36" or so...
with that said, plenty of people put them in tents... i'd be a bit scared, lol.
i do this in winter. i have a small heater that maintians some minimum temperature -- mostly for night time. small room doesn't take much to maintain. If not too ugly, put some insulation over windows.. i have a drape in window, then some insulation and then something to hold that in the window sill tightly, lol... looks fine from outside amd has my exhaust port anyway, so not so pretty to start..
