We’ve already converted our entire lighting system to the old-style oil lamps. The best fuel we’ve found so far is made from baby harp seat and Spotted Owl fat. About $9.00 a gallon, but worth every penny.
For outside lighting we have fire-pits located around the house and up the driveway. For special occasions we’ll throw an extra tire on the fire.
Hints:
1. The older ones (bias-ply ‘D’ load range) give out much more light than the new radials and cleaning out the fire pit is much easier without having to deal with all the steel-belted cord.
2. Stuffing the inside of the the tires with baby ducks and bunnies doused with a 50/50 mixture of kerosene/used motor oil makes lighting them up a breeze.
ROFL. Where can I buy the spotted owl fuel?
