Perhaps, but it's not an activity that is generally recommended.

Forget that - think of the ventilation. Even if they are burning
correctly and not producing carbon monoxide, burning 500 grammes
of paraffin will reduce the oxyen level in an 8'x8'x6' shed enough
to make most people lose consciousness. From them on, it is
downwards the whole way ....

Er, what difference is there between Imperial and metric heat?
