So the lesson is: install some means of ventilation over the stove to get
rid of the watervapor.


And the CO2. But it's somewhat of a dilemma, if it's cold outside you
don't want to let in too much cold air.

Y'all are overlooking one more factor in using a flame for heat: flames
consume oxygen. So unless you want to axphysiate yourselves, it's
necessary to provide a source of fresh air no matter what type of
flame-burning heater is used. Since heat rises and cold air falls,
cracking open a deck hatch should do it without losing too much cabin
warmth...only the amount that rises to the "ceiling."
