All these user manuals say to avoid carbon monoxide you should vent indoor spaces, but if you start cracking windows all the cold outside air comes rushing in. So what's the proper way to do this - just barely crack a window 1/2 inch?

I was doing this until everybody around me ran out of propane. Got the Mr Heater Buddy. I watched a video of a guy on youtube run it for hours inside a shut RV with a CO detector and the alarm never went off. When I ran it I left a little gap for fresh air to get in. Didn't have any problems. I left it running all night. Didn't die. I think the company says don't do it so they don't get sued.

Yeah, that's what I'm using a mr heater buddy. It says it has a low oxygen automatic shutoff but I got a CO detector too just in case. Thanks, I figured a cracked window and a CO detector will cover pretty much 99% of safety bases. I know CO can be strange as it can make you start hallucinating and stuff before it actually kills you so always erring on the side of caution.
