Its been 10 years since I've done this kind of stuff, but I've camped with a Kifaru Para Tarp and a little Ti Goat cylinder stove. Its a tight set up and with the stove its a little too tight for sitting up right. Its a glorious thing to start a little fire and make coffee from your sleeping bag when it 10 bellow zero. As far bike packing with a hot tent, you have to allow extra time for set up and and fuel gathering, as well as mess with fiddly metal parts that may want to freeze to your hands. late night hypothermia does not make you more clever or handsome. For trivia I will mention that those little cartridge stoves do not really burn when it gets properly cold, but setting the stove in a pot of luke warm piss will add enough thermal enertia to get the tea hot enough to keep you alive....
