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?

    some wood stoves have gratings or vents that burning oil could get through. exceedingly unlikely for sure, but measure the irritation vs the benefit - a fucking oil candle isn’t going to put off enough heat to heat up the damned wood stove, much less the room the wood stove is in.

    the potential risk is low, and with burning oil, risk is high, but the benefits are terrible so it’s just not worth it.
