Hi JB I am almost tempted to say "if it goes rancid you are not running
enough power"  :-))

Cheers de Alan

Warren, Alan, LFers,

From my own experience I wouldn't recommend cooking oil, as it will go
rancid on you in short order, and does it ever stink!  I've had good luck
using mineral oil sold as a cattle laxative at any farm supply outlet like
TSC Stores, Co-op,  etc.
