Absolutely talking tiny stoves. A large stove or even a small household stove would just be too big and throw out too much heat.
None of your reasons are absolute. Most stoves have controls that both limit the amount of heat output also limit the amount of wood burned which would both control how hot it gets and also how long the wood will burn. Also, different species of wood have dramatically different burning characteristics and BTUs per cord.
Diesel fuel heaters are only practical if you have diesel available for some other reason, and you still need to vent it and put it somewhere.
