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.
If your stove hood vents to outside you could probably detach the fan or run it off battery (extra steps). Then expand the hood to catch all smoke, aluminum foil should be easy to work. If not, you could get some stove pipe and put it out a window, insulated rest of open window with a wool blanket or fire blanket. Keep a carbon monoxide monitor nearby to monitor levels.

I recently got a few oil lamps, oil lantern, wicks and a stock of indoor kerosene alternative oil. Not healthy to burn kerosene indoors. Was gonna get coleman lanterns but their fuel is dirty.
Even walmart sells them. Dont wana just have battery stuff.
Add to that have a way to purify water. Gravity filters are good and have chlorine dioxide to purify water and as a broad spectrum oral antibiotic as well as parasite killer among many other things. lee merrit drinks it as parasite cleanse by drinking like every hour.
