Another option is a diesel heater.
I use one on a boat. The exhaust and heating flows are completely separate. Pick a model with the temperature control.
Here an example: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CLGRH91D?th=1
Although, I agree winterizing sounds like a better idea in OP' case.

Appreciate all the feedback from everyone... I ended up going with heat cable and a small electric wall heater that will come on when it gets too cold

That maintenance free cabin sure keeps you busy lol :D how long did the rechargeable AAs end up lasting in the alarm? Hopefully buddy is giving you fewer reasons to test it now

Quoting: Ejm Hello, Looking for some help. I have a small 8x8 outhouse that I would like to heat so the pipes and toilet do not freeze. I would like to use propane with a thermostat, so it kicks on when needed. I see a few I could use but I am scared the oxygen depletion sensor would go off and shut my heater without knowing and everything would freeze. Do they make anything that does not have the sensor or something anyone could recommend for such a small space. Thanks, EJ
For such a small space, I’d be cautious about using a propane heater, especially one that runs unattended. I wouldn’t recommend bypassing the oxygen depletion sensor, since it’s an important safety feature. If the main goal is protecting the pipes and toilet from freezing, pipe heat cables with a thermostat and proper insulation might be a more reliable solution. You could also look into a thermostatically controlled electric heater if power is available. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s rated for the installation and safe for unattended operation.
