If you got some "green" wood (could be up to 50% water) you may be adding to your problem as you heat.

The woodstove surely has a chimney!
but it's a good point as to
propane...
Woodstoves move a lot of air out of the boat so fresh air must come in or else. Put the stovedraft low near the sole or bilges (with a pipe and so on) because it's noticeable that the warm air in the boat will only go as low as the draft's inlet.More condensation.
Another acquaintance in a
steel boat made a point of designing it without
insulation so there was a lot of firewood pumped through
that boat.A floating Radiator in other words-Save the planet- Insulate.
