If you slept warm the whole night, you wouldn't've been waking up every couple hours to build the fire back up. It's still do-able, and you do get comfortable before you drop back off to sleep, after you stoke the fire, again, and the radiant heat starts hitting your shelter, again. But getting up every couple-three hours to build the fire back up says you got cold in the middle of the night. With your setup, you'd be putting on and taking off your boots, to kick the unburnt ends towards the middle and stoke it back up.
I think you were a little disingenuous about staying warm all night. You wouldn't've used up that wood if you didn't wake up a little chilly, with more desire to get up and stoke the fire than stay in bed. I do kind of like the way he built his fire. As it burns, it works its way towards the ends, so as the intensity dies down, there's more length to the fire. I imagine it becomes a smoking mess right before you re-stoke it.
