I have a green house heater and a couple of litres of paraffin, but that’s probably not a good idea inside the house.

The main risk is fire of the heater is knocked over. DOMESTIC paraffin heaters are required to have a safety device that extinguishes the flame if knocked over or tilted, GREENHOUSE heaters do not have this safety feature.
Carbon monoxide is unlikely to be a problem if the heater is burning correctly, though a CO alarm is a prudent precaution just in case.
I use a long burning Tilley infra-red radiator in severe weather, these have not been made for decades but good used examples turn up on fleabay regularly. They work in the same way as a Tilley lamp. Spare parts are still available.
