Kerosene heaters are $100- ish ea . Big @$$ wired in whole house generators are several $ thousands . You pays your money and takes your choice , but the cost effectiveness difference is pretty blatant .
She'll like the taste too!
Wood stove - dusty smoke goes through the house, when opening the doors.
As careful as we all want to be, keep in mind that a winter never goes by without having to read or see TV news of a family killed by a "space heater" fire or by carbon monoxide gas. Be careful.

If your house is sealed-up tight, you are not providing combustion air for the wood stove (as evidenced by pressure differential caused by the door movement.) Need to crack a window near the stove, or provide a louvered vent nearby.Wood stove - dusty smoke goes through the house, when opening the doors.
Not sure where this comes from. Maybe an old leaky stove?? I flip the coals to add more wood. Basically the shovel upside down and push to the back. Pushing ash to the back and coals to the top. Then rake them to the front after adding one piece. Then to the center and add two more. Some ash gets air borne during this and the family room in the basement gets extra dusty from it. But that is the only room having an issue.

I have oil furnace (hot water baseboard). So with a generator, I have heat.
It comes more from being forgetful. Many a time in my youth, that I forgot to open the damper, before opening the hearth doors. Smoke would then come out of the wood stove. At that point you will not notice any dust.
Towards the spring, when you look at your ceiling tiles over the stove, you will notice a fair amount of discoloration, which is caused by the small dust particles within the smoke.
I would be wary of kerosene heaters inside your living space. Noxious gasses will do you in instead of the cold!
