Thanks for the replies. After reading what you say and the links, I
don't think a portable combustion heater would be a good idea.

You don't want electric, you don't want gas, you don't want a portable
combustion heater...
Try using people, as in "the matrix".

Using gasoline instead of kerosene? Would this sort of thing qualify
for the Darwin award?

I had a flooded basement during a power outage. Every 2 hours, 24/7, for a
week I had to put gasoline in a pump, and every 6 hours kerosene in a
heater. I am a bit surprised I didn't get them mixed up.
