I nearly killed off all my tomoateoes plants one year when using a paraffin heater that obviously had a badly-trimmed wick and therefore gave off noxious fumes. Ihaven't used one since. I suggest that, if you can't bring the plants into the house, you use newspaper or fleece to throw a "blanket" over them.

Sorry, I was just trying to apologise for my typo on tomatoes in the original e-mail.

Make sur the wick is trimmed and turned down low.
Smokw usually occurs when the heater is turned up too much.
