Buddy heater hooked up to a large propane tank is the way to go in the morning for sure.

Also, buy me a beer and I'll make my tent available too if it's not already being used. It's a 10x14 Kodiak canvas, worked awesome with the buddy heater this past 4R season, single-digit temps at night.
What kind of tents are people using with this setup and and any idea on how big of a space can they heat?
I’ve used it in an ice shack for a hunting tent and it was amazing. We used it in a huge wall tent. Like 8 man tent, not sure the dimensions. It took the bite off in the morning and when getting back from a hunt while the stove warmed up but the stove was necessary to get warm. I think 8x10 you could use the buddy heater pretty efficiently. Works great in a teepee tent too.

the buddy heater is ok for a quick morning wake up but it doesn't compare to a good wood wood stove for drying stuff or just general comfort, I've been comfy in a t shirt in -20 weather with a good fire rolling...

Unless you are Tent Bound, you don't really have time to start a fire in the morning. Usually hit the igniter on the Buddy heater about 15 minutes before I dressed by the lantern and turned on Coffee. If there are coals in the stove you can stoke it up. If you are up frequently at night you can keep the stove going.
