This may not be what you are looking for, but I saw a video on Youtube on how to heat your rooms with a large candle, all threaded rod, bolts and washers, and a
couple of large flower pots.
Basically you bolt the flower pots in a series overlapping with space between onto the rod, put it over the candle with the flame on the bolt and rod setup.
It should keep a room above freezing to toasty warm depending on the number of candles.
Going to check this out !! I love these kinds of outside the box heating ideas , always amazed me some of the things people come up with
I appreciate the responses everyone !
For those asking about kerosene storage I too have read that it can last a very long time
I've thought about propane as I use propane salamanders in my garage and my shop so considering getting a larger propane tank and heaters rated for indoor use...I'm in town so I need to see if there are any laws concerning tank size in city limits , I'd think I could have anything I want but I'm sure in this semi-free country someone has come up with a rule to govern me in that department
You might look into in-ground propane storage. The link is for a 1000 gallon tank there is also a 500 gallon one.

I thought using a sterno or a small propane bottle for this but the cans warn about carbon monoxcide. Wouldn't that be an issue with other heaters? what do you guys do about venting fumes?This may not be what you are looking for, but I saw a video on Youtube on how to heat your rooms with a large candle, all threaded rod, bolts and washers, and a

Im setup to use a tank top propane heater. We use propane for out heat anyways but w/o electric you wouldn't be able to use the furnace. I need to spend the time and find a kit somewhere on the internet that would let me fill small tanks off our bulk tank. I have asked the propane provider several times and they wont set me up, also dont get caught using one bc they may not fill your tank if they see it. I'm also working on a project with a $70 harbor freight generator. I'm thinking I can bring it inside and maybe run a large copper coil off the exhaust with a fan in the center and set it all up to go out a window. In the end I would store the power in 2 large deep cycle batteries and take advantage of it with a 2000w inverter when needed but not loose the heat generated by the motor (still working out the details). The kerosene idea isn't bad but what would worry me is the shelf life if your not steady using it. No one can seem to come to a consensus on how long it lasts, I've heard anything from months to years.
Here is an idea ... you can burn witches.
