Alternate uses for expired veg. oil

[dennishoddy]

Yeah, you can buy cooking oil decorative lamps. They have a clear bowl, fill it with wesson oil, and this little wick on a base stands in the middle of it. They were pretty popular back in the day, but getting knocked off by a frisky dog or kid caused a lot of house fires.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen them around in awhile.

Huh ... I dunno why it won't work for you. It pulls up the search page I linked to with 4 different oil lamps on it ...

Try this ...

If that doesn't work go to Lehman's website and search "vegetable oil lamps" ...

I'll bet if I get on A computer instead of my phone, it will come up. Don't know why iPhones do this, but its not the first time.

Sweet! I'm thinking I'll try my hand at just making one like that....

Burning the oil in a lamp? Wouldn't that produce a lot of smoke and soot when compared to regular lamp oil?

The Egyptian sprinkled salt into their oil lamps to prevent soot. They used olive oil. Don't know if you'd get the same result with veg oil.
