Firefly CLEAN Fuel Lamp Oil Smokeless/Virtually Odorless- 32oz

I am sitting here right now burning Firefly CLEAN Fuel Lamp Oil in my brand new Vermont Lanterns Brass "Dorset" Table Lamp (8", Antique Brass). So far now from what I see this is a match made in heaven! :) I see and/or smell NONE of this alleged soot or smoke that I have read about by a very small number of people. I believe their problems are from improper use of this fine product. (operator error) I will continue to order this lamp oil provided the price does not go up. (note that this was a Prime item when I ordered it, so free shipping. However looking at today's listing it does not appear to be Prime anymore and I see they tacked on a $7.77 shipping charge.) I will wait until it is Prime again because I am not willing to pay that price for it. Firefly don't shoot yourself in the foot on shipping charges. Things I like: I like that this is probably the safest lamp oil on the market with regard to flash point, the temperature at which it ignites is a high 220 degrees so there is less worry about storing it in the house. I like that this is a high mileage fuel that burns 50% longer than competing products. I like that it is burning nicely in my lamp without any issues. I like that I don't smell anything at all about this lamp oil, either before burning, while burning, or after burning it. AFTERTHOUGHT: If you are interested in using this fine lamp oil you should take some things into consideration while using it. It will arrive to you with totally no scent or detectable smell. If you mix this lamp oil with kerosene (which you should never do) , you are messing up a good thing, it probably won't burn right, and the kerosene or other bad smells you smell will be from the kerosene, not this lamp oil. (Then you will blame this lamp oil for the smell, and that is just WRONG!) If you get this oil and plan to start using it you should empty out the oil lamp or lantern you are going to use it in and turn the lamp or lantern upside down on some paper towels (lamp opened, of course), for an hour or so and let all the old oil drip out of the lamp onto the absorbent towels. Then take a clean towel and wipe any remaining oil off of the lamp. At this point if your lamp's wick has ever been used before for kerosene or even another brand of lamp oil you should replace it with a new unused wick immediately before burning this oil. (remember you don't want to smell that old kerosene, right?) Not only that but by putting the old kerosene-laden wick back into the lamp the kerosene in the old wick will contaminate your brand new lamp oil, making for you an unpleasant experience. If you use this lamp oil correctly, (and uncontaminated), you will have a very pleasant experience.

Works real well!!

PERFECT

Used it in a brand new clean dietz #76 original. Smells slightly less than lamplight ultra pure(the orange label) but more than the lamplight medallion (the blue label) that I burned in an identical dietz #76. it does smell like parrafin and while they claim it's all natural and safe and made from plants they give neither a standard or definition for either and the MSDS or whatever they call it now says nothing about it, claiming proprietary ingredients and a flash point of 200°F which is weird because no commercially farmed plant oil has a flash point between 180°F and 300°F as far as I'm aware meaning it's some sort of blend of a high and low flash point oil or 5. It's suspicious but I can't definitely say they are lying. The worst part is firefly makes a better oil called "safe and green the one" and it's better in every way so why even make this hodgepodge. All in all. It's ok but I'll stick to either safe and green the one or kleen heat(kerosene refined past 1k standard) for my lanterns

When I smell the oil itself I can't smell anything, but once my wife lights the wick I can definitely smell something new, and we both don't like it. It's possible we're not doing something right, but the wick is 1/4" showing during the burn. It does last a long time, we're going to keep experimenting with it.
