Is there such a thing as a low power space heater?
I've heard of ones like this:

BTW, I have no idea why color affects the price so much.
I think this heater matches KenK's request. I also recall a 500 Watt
element that screwed into a standard light bulb socket, but that was 50
years ago.
Commonly available electric space heaters are in the 1000 to 1500 Watt
range. If you used one with a thermostat, you would reduce total
watt-hours consumed.
Back to the original requirement: are you sure that the low-powered
electric heater costs less to operate than a thermostatically-controlled
propane heater? If you use your electric heater for a while, you may
find that the increase in electricity costs is greater than the
reduction in propane costs.
