Can you use an oil lantern inside of a wood stove for all night heat? - eviltoast

Can you place a lit kerosene lantern in a wood stove that has a chimney? In a relatively small room such as a truck camper, would you be exposed to carbon dioxide or would it go out the chimney as if burning wood?

    90% of the heat will go up the chimney. There’s got to be a better way. My buddy installed a propane heater in his VW Vanagon. He’s a pretty handy guy though

      that’s going to depend on how open the flue is. You can probably adjust most wood stoves so it works properly, you’d just want a monoxide detector
