Hellooo How are you today...... I have been teaching myself to fire twirl for about 6 months now but I still dont know exactly what oil to use. I have been using smelly citroneella lamp oil. I dont want to use it anymore but what else can i use...

Love Rachel***************

next wednesday we can show you the lofty joys of firetwirling with firewater. it doesn't smell like a necrophiliac's long-term relationship, and the fuel burns brighter and longer than most Mormons.
*cough*plug!*cough*
...what was that?

I wouldn't worry, sweetie. It is just old person angst. And if anyone mentions points, just run as fast as you can in the opposite direction

It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.
What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...

citronella smells better than kerosine! Phoeey.. kero still puts a smile on my face, but i tell you, when you spill 1 and a half litres in your car and start to get funny headaches after the smell is still there for 2 weeks, then lamp oil smells like roses!!!!!!!!!
firewaters better!
much love

Hi Munkeyrach, I don't like the smell of citronella either. A lot of twirlers in Melb use Shell Sol TX. It burns cleaner than kero and is not as dangerous as shellite (whitegas).
I buy a 20L drum from a shell depot (not a petrol station) for $65.00. Other suppliers like Concentrate may sell it in smaller quantities.

if ya want to buy small quantities of Shell Sol Tk from the sweet kickass at Concentrate, I can give you a few empty 5Lt Firewater canisters if ya want - I dun wanna throw them away and I don't wanna give them back to juggleart. I think it was something like AU3.5000$ for a litre of shellsoltk. it smells less sugary/sweetly and slightly muskier/soury.
I must inhale less fumes, and eat more kraft dinner.

cheaper than firewater you can get a product called ShellSolT
can buy it from major shell distribution points. bout $60 for 20 liters. burns bright, clean. no smell, no soot. much better than kerro, parrafin etc. wish i could find something like that here, (in Barcelona at the mo)
if you cant find a shell distributor nearby try concentrate fire workshop. you can contact them online, search for site via name, dont have it on me. one of tthe guys there might have a spare drum they could sell.
Big hi´s to all Melbourne twirlers!! miss home ;P

The points game kinda died after some handsome fraggle came back from his disapearance and ranted about how nasty everyone had become because of the points.
It's so much nicer to be helpful than to yell at folks don't you think Rex?
