A word of warning! I had a parafin heater for a while. soon got rid though, it makes your van stink for months and leaves a thick oily soot over everything. takes ages to get rid of that too.

Trouble being to keep it blue you need lots of oxygen, you shut it in the back of a well sealed van and it'll soon turn orange and cause problems.
