The super Dry is TOO exoensive for what we use it for. DO NOT use Deise or Concrete form oil(they are flammable, and stink!). I use the Canopus in my RV8. Its cheaper, and burns really clean.

I thought Canopus was a concrete form oil??? I read this somewhere else
"- Diesel & Concrete Form Release Oil 50:50 (obtained from construction industry goes under the name of Chevron/Texaco "Canopus 13" oil [formerly called Corvus Oil], EXXON Unuius-15, SUNOCO 222, Corbisol.)"
Concentrated antifreeze works too. The problem with most of the "home recipes" is that they stink and make a mess.
How often are you going to use it and how much will you use? answer those questions and it may make sense to just buy the good stuff.
Headsup on antifreeze... Fatal to humans/animals if ingested. Don't know about breathing it but would def not take the chance...
<<Where can I purchase Texaco Canopus #13 oil in the Los Angeles area?>>
Look for a distributor in the phone book under "Oils, Lubricating". Usually need to order a 55 gallon drum. Around here I had more luck with a Shell distributor and ordering Carnea...same thing as Texaco Canopus, plain mineral oil.

Not sure about where you live, but around here we found an oil distributor and purchase our smoke oil from them. Concrete Form release oil is what to get! I'll check my barrell and see what brand/type it is and then report back.
