any small heater recommendations ?

Any heating or cooking apparatus that relies on burning gas, oil, or solid fuel such as wood or coal, WILL produce carbon monoxide, basically because the combustion process will gradually take the available oxygen from the atmosphere.

If you have sufficient ventilation then this oxygen will be replaced as it burns, and all will be well.

No any combustion May produce carbon monoxide. If you have enough oxygen and the burner itself is not faulty then all will be OK.

I was referring to the use of this basic apparatus in a compartment that is not adequately ventilated, such as in a van occupied by inexperienced or unwary campers. I think we can agree that without sufficient air / oxygen getting in, you WILL reach a stage where you have incomplete combustion, a product of which is carbon monoxide.

Again, sorry if my earlier post seemed a little "stark", but we need to guard against being too blasé or laid back about the need for ventilation, especially when inexperienced folk may be reading these threads for ideas and advice. :)
