I suppose a similar chimney arrangement could be used with a propane lantern, which would provide a lot more radiant heat, but also way too much light.
Ever watch the old cowboy movies or little house on the prarie. The pot belly stove pipe ran forever thru the building this is your radiant heat.
If you look close at my chimney you will notice it is automotive exhaust pipe. Have it bent as a one or two piece stack and run it as long as possible if you make that heated stack air work to get out it will give up 30 maybe 40 % of the stack heat back into the tear without the first fume by radiation from the steel stack. I paid about $15.00 for my little 2 piece stack that's in the picture.
As to way too much light put the lantern in a 6" or 8" black stove pipe and punch a few holes as a night light. The more heat up the stack and more to radiate out. The lantern is protected from accidental contact and just adapt down for the stack.
