Not to jack the thread, but staying warm has not been a problem, having a battery to power my CPAP for more than one night is the problem! If I could get that figured out I could stay in the mountains more! As has been mentioned an extra layer of synthetic while in the bag helps I have to do this when it gets cold with my 15 degree bag.

Is it out in the cold, below freezing?
OP hasn't mentioned the brand of his bag yet(at least not that I've seen). They're expensive, but I'd look into a Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends for a true-to-temp rated bag.As far as a hot tent, they're nice... but those little wood stoves aren't like the big wood stoves in wall tents. You're looking at 2ish hours tops depending on how big your firebox is. Great at the end of a wet day, but its not like a wall tent stove where you can damp it down and it'll burn all night... unless you enjoy waking up every two hours to reload the stove.Besides, by the time you buy the stove and tent you'll be well above the cost of a better bag... and you'll still need it, so start there!
buy a flourless shelter and Ti stove and a better bag

Was wondering what the benefits of flour where... never heard of it but hey, something new and cool comes along once in a while. Good thing I didn't try it..
