My best advise would be to call teh land manager before you head out and get the word from the.

Better safe then sorry.

Why do alot of guys worry about keeping a tent warm all night? Never understood that one...

I checked on this a couple of years ago and called the Cle Elum Ranger District, was told I had to be able to turn the flame off which meant no wood stoves, no charcoal bbqs etc.  If you dont have a propane heater, contact a rental store and ask to rent a tent heater.  I use one to take the chill off in the morning and it will run you right out of the tent.

Its pretty simple. Federal burn bans mean all burning even stoves except in their designated camp grounds. State DNR its legal in stoves and fire pits only. Both require the common sense tools 5g water and a shovel handy.

not at night, during the evening before bed, or the mornings.  Keeping a fire going through the night is a baaaad idea, on many fronts.

I've never seen it get below 30 degrees where I hunt during early season so I don't use it.  But i do use it during deer(modern) and most stoves these days come with a spark arrestor...if not I would get one.  And when it's 22 degrees out I like a warmer tent during the night....no different than having a fire going at home...just as safe IMHO not a bad idea.  At that point it's personal preference.
