this is not a good smoking pic, I turned down the valve on the smoke so I was not pumping in enough, usually much more smoke

I seen a guy using just plain diesel, looked good. I tried ATF, didnt work very good.

NOTE, you must thin out the parafin with something, I was told kerosine, but I didnt have any so I used gas, worked good, just a bit.

I just checked out the price of the smokeless/odorless candle/lamp oil - it was 2.69 for a 22oz bottle. Kinda expensive.
