Stay the heck away from lamp oil. Doesn't produce as much heat as what the other members have
mentioned, the alcohols, denatured or grain.  Lamp oil SMOKES TERRIBLY  and leaves a black soot
all over the boiler and in the boiler house. I use mostly butane in my Bix burners, and alcohol
occasionally if as long as I know the burner doesn't leak.
