I wouldn't know. Maybe if you're lucky enough to have a fireplace or a balcony or some form of open air. Camping stoves generate carbon dioxide, which both kills you and is not air. I wouldn't run one indoors without at MINIMUM, immediately-placed ventilation. You can do literally everything in this guide and still be dumb enough to not use ventilation, and instead of surviving SHTF you'll die in an hour or less.
Burning anything creates carbon MONoxide, not DIoxide. But most liquid fuel modern camp stoves burn quite efficiently. You don't need much air exchange to run a small stove indoors for short periods. If you would describe your house as drafty, you already have enough air exchange. If your house seals up pretty well, a window barely open is plenty. Propane burns pretty clean, as does butane. As long as you aren't burning your food and creating smoke you should be good. Ideally you have a woodstove in your house so you can use fuel that is easy to resupply to both cook and keep warm.
