As mentioned I agree that a fan inside a small box ref. Would circulate the cold air. Just nit sure if it make all that much of a diff. If the fan is on top or bottom. Glad you are able to refurbish and all is not lost.
Actually, propane is heavier than air. It naturally seeks the lowest place. He was extremally lucky that it wasn't a huge explosion.

I've seen that happen on boats before. There can be a small propane leak and the gas will pool in the bilge for weeks. Then it finds a source of ignition and the boat goes off like a bomb.
