Liquid paraffin doesn't absorb up the wick as well as kerosene or lamp oil. With the Dietz Little Wizard lantern, you need to keep the reservoir at least 1/3 full to be sure of it staying lit.

I've never tried mineral oil. Kleen-Heet works very well, with less odor than kerosene or most bargain "lamp oils".

FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY, you can burn Citronella oil, which chases most bugs away.
