[SADXA] dummy load oil??

[Gail N7BXX]

I think I remember reading that you could use mineral oil.  Since it's use it to take the heat from the resistor I bet peanut oil would work as it has the highest burning temperature.  
Think it would be best to get several more inputs before trying.  Might be something for a ARRL request.

Subject: [SADXA] dummy load oil??

Anyone have suggestions and/or sources for oil for a dummy load? I have a
Heath Cantenna dummy load that requires about a gallon of oil. Years ago, I
replaced the original, probably with PCB's, oil with the currently
recommended stuff. However, shortly before I moved to Tucson, my trusty
cantenna sprang a leak and most of the oil ended up on my ham shack floor.
Does anyone know of a local source for more oil. I need a gallon of the
stuff.

Thanks.
