The ones I run weather depending are a Coleman sport cat catalist heater. It's a bit small for close days but runs really clean. I have a mr heater one also for colder days I have fished comfortably in -35 in my quick flip 2 tent with this heater, on low it's a little funny not terrible but on high the vents need to be open. Ran both heaters for a few years now and they are pretty decent.

Another nomination for the Big Buddy. Nice clean heat and a built in fan.

Mr. Heater sunflower. I have mine on an 8lb. pancake tank. It's like a portable campfire. On those cold days when you're mobile and don't want to set up the tent, you can just fire it up and keep it running to warm your hands when they get cold. I even take it out on the boat in late fall when its really cold. That little tank comes with a plastic holder and it's very stable. I've been out in -25 and I can sit in my tent in my t-shirt with this thing. No low oxy sensor though so you want to stay well vented and go out for some fresh air now and again.
