You could always take the pressure paraffin route. Lanterns such as these:

are robust, easy to maintain with spares readily available, economical to run and dish out a useful amount of heat. Of the two and indeed pressure lanterns in general, Vapalux are considered to be the best.
On the downside they require priming with spirit (easier with the Vapalux) as part of the lighting process so instant light isn't an option with these but once lit they will burn continuous for 12+ hours on a couple of pints of paraffin
