Can you place a lit kerosene lantern in a wood stove that has a chimney? In a relatively small room such as a truck camper, would you be exposed to carbon dioxide or would it go out the chimney as if burning wood?

    In my wood stove, at least, it would drip though into the ash catch, which is a much thinner metal than the cast iron stove body and not really meant to have something actively burning in it. Kerosene also likely burns hotter than wood.

    So you’d have a too hot fire burning in all the wrong places in the stove, it might be ok and it might burn a hole through something and start a fire.
