Jason,

Be very careful with lanterns in tents!  If you're even moderately careless you could reduce your tent to a hunk of melted plastic in short order.  Lanterns and tents are not compatable.  Also, watch the ventilation.  People have died using lanterns or stoves for heat in tents.  

I don't know if you know it or not, but stoves and lanterns generate moisture in a tent.  Using them to dry wet clothes won't totally work.  Sure, the wet clothes will get warmer and even let off steam, but stoves and lanterns generate moisture.  You're better off with wood heat as was mentioned.

-Mike
