kerosene heater
Portable oil furnace
A kerosene heater is a portable heating device that burns kerosene fuel to warm indoor spaces.
Common as supplemental or emergency heat sources, they require ventilation because combustion produces fumes: We brought out the kerosene heater during the power outage.
Also called a paraffin heater in British English.
