You can heat up a tin of food on top of them, but not a family breakfast. Unless it's oat meal

my dad used tilley lamps during the strikes in 70s but cant remember there effectiveness etc,but heat as well as light would be good
Yes in a nutshell the design I'm getting has been made by various countries over the years, it has heater and cooking attachments available.
It is safe on paraffin, but lamp makers guild say by design petrol is dangerous and german army stopped using petrol in them.
BriteLyt claim multi fuel-but on petrol have had explosions with mantle failure on petrol(lamp makers guild)
CJN Adams multifuel claim 100% petrol is dangerous and only sell to Amish as I asked them.

We end up in marquees quite a lot so they are less of an issue, I would think the grade of paraffin would be critical, I remember my great grand mother had a paraffin heater which was toasty warm and only remember smell on shutdown or start up.
She had a window open slightly to allow continuations fresh air, so I would guess as long as a good grade paraffin is used and you have air supply via a window they are okay.
There were also pink and Blue paraffins-from memory the blue was household and red was greenhouse?
Paraffin/Kerosene heaters are more popular in America and from what I read modern heaters are okay if you have ventilation.

One of the probs with paraffin is that it releases huge amounts of water vapour into the air.
Condensation in a marquee is fun when you have dewpoint it is like indoor drizzle occasionally

Use these alot for heat. in the winter when it -30F and wind at 20-40 mph, it can really make a furnace work hard, and these help with extra heat. and a lot of poor use then also , in a home garage ,etc work just great.
