Wind River,
Yes, it does work with oil. I tested it and there were no problems. I kept it lit for about 20 minutes. My concern was that it could leak. But it didn't.
When I bought it the bottom was out of round. So much so that the bottom lid would not go on. I fixed it as best as I could and made it almost round. Look at the picture of the bottom and you can see the areas where it is still a little bit off (where the arrows are). But it
seals without a problem.
I bought it at the
boat show">Annapolis
Boat Show at the Weems and Plath
sale for about 1/2
price (I think I paid around $150-160). I no longer need it. Actually, I never really needed it but I thought it would be a nice addition. But now it's time to sell off everything I no longer need.
