Did you consider the Dickinson Marine Newport P9000 Propane Fireplace ? Was that one too expensive for your application?
The Newport heaters is equipped with a flexible stainless double walled vent pipe and a combination deckfitting/exhaust cap. Fresh air is pulled from outside, through the outer pipe into the combustion chamber while exhaust gas leaves the vessel through the inner pipe. The air from inside the cabin is not being used for combustion so a fresh air vent is not needed. Since this unit has isolated combustion, the exhaust gases are being taken out via the chimney so no moisture is being created inside the cabin. It has an electric fan but the fan only draws 0.2 amps, is 12 volts. You don't need to use the fan on a low heat setting, only on medium to high heat. You do need a minimum of 20" of run for the chimney. http://dickinsonmarine.com/product/newport-p9000-propane-fireplace/ http://dickinsonmarine.com/dm/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Propane-Heater-P9P12-Manual-2020.pdf Ken H.
