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.
I clearly remember as a wee boy the paraffin deliveries. I suspect that the heaters bridged the gap between winter coal fires and the summer warmth. I cannot recall them stinking. By contrast, a paraffin heater was left at our house when we bought it. I tried using it to heat a conservatory, but the fumes escaped into the house, so it wasn't used for long. It still sits at the back of the shed.
