My wife and I have been talking about the future a bit. Are there options that folks use for propane off grid? Or do all those type systems require electric? We were thinking that turning on heat from a propane heater may be easier for her if she ventures out to the cabin by herself? Then maintain the heated one room cabin through the wood stove. I already have three 100 lb tanks out there for stove and lights.

There are direct vent propane heaters that don't need electricity.
https://www.williamscomfortprod.com/product/monterey-home-furnaces/
This style has more heat capacity and vents straight up through the roof, generally.
There's also the more self-contained through the wall style: https://www.williamscomfortprod.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/L1109-DIRECT-VENT-FURN ACES-12-2018.pdf
Both are available with standing pilots and thermostats that don't need electricity.

I suppose options like ice house heaters but more BTU, I would for sure kill the pilot light when not there.....waste of gas and just feel safer/better with it not on! Thanks Nate for that idea
