you might be better with a single super insulated room with say 2 feet
of insulation perhaps foam to minimizes losses.

"Mains" sounds UKsian. If an 8' cube has 2' of Styrofoam insulation with
a thermal conductance of 6x8'x8'/(24xR5) = 3.2 Btu/h-F, a 300 Btu/h person
could warm it 300/3.2 = 94 F. Then again, I bought a $10 pair of British
Army surplus Arctic pants with 1" of padding.

A writer might enjoy a trash can with a tilting lid that would ignite balls
of paper tossed into the lid, maybe something with a propane torch and
a small chimney to the outdoors.
