When I was a kid I went on a winter campout with the Boy Scouts. We had about a half-dozen canvas tents of that shape, arranged in a semicircle. The awnings were all stretched out and connected to tarps that enclosed the other half of the semicircle, and a wood stove was placed in the middle. I wouldn't say it was warm like inside a house, but it was much warmer than expected.
The scouts at that time had a -100 badge, you got it when the low temperature with windchill for each night you camped added up to -100 Fahrenheit. We all got the badge that weekend.
P.S. I never knew that style was called a Bakers Tent.
