The price of propane will continue to rise and several years from now you may wish you had a wood stove instead. Are there any dual fuel stoves available? Ace Hardware at Southpoint is supposed to have a selection of wood stoves, perhaps they have propane heating stoves as well? I haven't looked myself, but several folks have said they have the wood stoves.
We use electric blankets (they don't pull much power so we can use them on our photovoltaic electrical system) and a KeroSun kerosene heater. The heater is a bit of a bother to start up and shut down and that should be done outside because of the smell but once it is going it does heat up well.
We also have Aladdin lamps which are handy heat sources as well as light sources. We don't need them for lighting, but as little heaters they are handy. How about three or four candles? That might make a bit of difference and it would be nice and romantic for Valentine's Day, too!
