Be careful with that as stuff like Aspen fuel/Whitegas/Colemans is Naphtha and definitely isn't suitable for the Beatrice unless you really want to run around screaming from the resulting fireball...

It depends. Naphtha is a general term and can be labelled as lots of things including kerosene. Similarly Kerosene NP-1 being sold as bbq lighting fluid which could be used as a substitute also.
And, you have a ‘paraffin stove’.
I’ve got a Chinese Diesel heater in the van. I know it inside out now, it runs superbly and keeps us warm. It didn’t always, so I had to ask the internet, which meant…..Facebook.
At this point I’d like to cuss fairly loudly but applaud anyone who’s fallen to Darwin’s Theory and won’t be bothering the genuine seekers of truth again.
So many people on the forums about ‘diesel heaters’ were asking whether it would run on veg oil, on petrol, on recycled chip fat, on paraffin. No, it runs on diesel, it is a diesel heater.
Clue’s in the name
Hopefully I'll get the Mica in the next day or two, and as long as I don't vaporise myself, I'll post a photo of fire.
I have a nice Beatrice 44 which I tidied up. Two burner one chimney and it definitely is a paraffin stove. No photos so I'd better take a couple.
Used this as a heater for the first time this afternoon, pottering around in a very cold garage I sparked up the Beatrice and wonders of wonders.... I have heat.! . ( well, let's say a gentle warmth.)
Great job, it really works.
