Citronella seems like a great idea. A good option might be to keep a low-soot lamp "pilot light" going and then a stick with citronella for smoking.

That way you don't get the sore thumb of constantly relighting the lamp, don't by get the black lung of a constantly burning smoke lamp, and don't get the smell of burning kerosene either.

This would be like the setup Jack Rowe shows on the videos with Larry Potterfield, except exchanging kerosene for "soot-free" lamp oil and citronella.
