There is a world of difference between cheap colored oil you buy in discount stores and clear pure buring lamp oil. This product was priced right and they provided a fair amount for the price. We burn lamp oil on board our boat at times since it gives off a warm light. The last thing I want to be doing is cleaning soot off the salon ceiling and cleaning the lamps that burn the oil. Save yourself the headache and start with clean oil, then continue using it. I have seen some very over priced oil and at first..
It's fine for round-wick oil candles, it's smokeless in those, yes. But you don't want to use this in a flat-wick lamp or lantern, it WILL clog the wick and cause it to lose brightness and start smoking badly. You want to use the Medallion oil by the same company (not odorless) or Kleen Heat (odorless) for that sort of wick.
