A paraffin pressure lamp ( Petromax, Vapalux etc) will give you light AND chuck out loads of heat (1kw) - follow the safety precautions already posted on this thread.
Damn! Reading that just cost me £138.00!! I've been considering one for ages!
Splutterycar, sorry for encouraging you to part with your hard-earnt, great camping toy though I've got two ex army ones now. Haven't used them for camping yet but could come in useful for the winter power cuts.

Yep, that works well. Bit like a log burner though in that you need to keep feeding/stoking/poking the fire all night otherwise it cools down too quickly. [(-:]
