Funny, I thought it was the other way round.

Actual experience:
I too have an old house that is not exaclty air tight, and I live in
southern Canada.
For the past 3 years I have been using a recent manufacture kerosene
radiant heater for supplemental heating.
You can smell it when first entering the house, but I don't notice it after
that.
Properly adjusted, these do not give off signifigant CO, and I have level
recording CO meter that is yet to register any thing.
It is important to use the white kerosene heater fuel that is designed for
these units. Stove oil, diesel, or naptha cannot be substituted.
That being said, the best option is still a permanently installed heating
appliance that is vented outdoors.
I am seriously considering a wood stove, even though I live in a fairly
dense neighbourhood.
The EPA rated stoves don't smoke much when used properly.

Do you feel the radiant models make more sense than the
convection models?
