What's the swamp cooler equivalent of an outdoor space heater?

I have a medium-sized porch in Chicago, and I want to be able to use it for as much of the fall and winter (lol) as possible. But it's a wooden porch, and fire safety is of course a concern, plus real space heaters are largely sold out. And I love DIY versions of things, so...

I don't need this to work THAT well, even kind of well would be a triumph. Tabletop fire pit is out because of safety I think, and I have zero experience with propane anything beyond watching "King of the Hill." I've seen a lot of posts about flower pot heaters (like this), but I can't tell if they really make a difference outside, and I can't tell if it's really much more fire safe than anything else.

The porch is open on all sides, and while I'm open to hanging up curtains for when I'm out there alone, that defeats the "safer to socialize outdoors" covid issue. Is there something like, idk, a pizza stone or cauldron that I can heat up in the oven for a bit or whatever? Dumb, janky, McGuyvered answers welcome! (Yes, I have read the previous similar questions.)
