I cook something with our propane stove to stay warm and have a carbon monoxide detector that I test often enough. Close all the doors to other staterooms, the v-berth, or what-have-you so you are minimizing the area you are heating. Then cook something on the stove top or bake something. I find that the oven smells less than the stove top, so that's my preference.

A couple of nights ago in 50 degrees, 20+ knots wind at a mooring I fell asleep on the setee while baking potatoes that I cut up into slices. I awoke later to an 84 degree cabin and delicious - almost potato-chip like - baked potato slices.

I know others use oil lamps. I find that they smell, even burning lamp oil.
