Bien's mineral oil is ideal for use in candles and tableware light bulbs. It is slow to burn as it burns for several hours, thus, it is particularly economic. Try it also for charging the charcoal, in the fireplace and wherever else you need, and will surprise you for the impetus it gives to fire. It is not flammable and it does not create bad smell. It does not create charcoal on the wick, causing the flame to last up to the last drop.
