I don't know a specific model, but it seems to me you'd be better off with a 
radiative heat source, like a big electric quartz-type heater. The propane 
heater will heat the air, which will fly away. A radiator will beam its heat 
to you. Also, again without being able to recommend any models, I'd think 
about a heated pad to stand on. Our heads can take quite a bit of cold 
weather if our feet stay warm.
