Many old camps utilized an oil stove, very easy to throttle down for periods away from the camp.
No getting up in the middle of the night to fill the stove.
Heck, you may even get a carve out?
Aside from smell if one should have a spill they do heat well as long as the carb is operating correctly. No different than a a diesel heater I suppose. The old oil tanks held a large volume so would get prolonged periods of use for each fill.
