Can you place a lit kerosene lantern in a wood stove that has a chimney? In a relatively small room such as a truck camper, would you be exposed to carbon dioxide or would it go out the chimney as if burning wood?

Generally speaking, it’s a bad idea to use fuels in things not meant for them. I don’t know of a lamp would produce enough heat to push CO /CO2 out the chimney- but it’s very likely the lantern is not going to be adequate for all night heat.
It’s also a bad idea to leave lanterns running unattended- though depending on the stove this may be mitigated, it’s not particularly safe.
IMO? If it’s a matter of staying warm, you’ll be better off with plenty of warm blankets or sleeping bags - remember to layer them on top and bottom.
– and a hot water bottle.
It helps keep your feet warm for a little while, but honestly? The water bottle is most useful for something to drink when you wake up- keeping it from being totally frozen.
I’m sure a purpose made item has been invented by now, but I’ve had good results filling a large steel canteen with boiling water then putting it inside two or three thick wool socks and having it still steamy when I open it in the morning.
nalgene bottles also work with boiling water.
Hot snaps. Brilliant.
