in Europe they used Primus type kerosene stoves for many years.they did more than just cook but roasted coffee beans and that sort of stuff.kero is still used around the world for cooking and heat.venting of some sort is always a good idea and the quality of the burner running hot without fumes is a plus.
i would not use a white gas stove inside.someplace there is a chart with the stoves and the amount of carbon monoxide they put out,i'm sure one of the stove blogers will post it.
