I had to laugh when I saw this topic, I thought about posting the same question myself early last winter.

I mixed up a gallon of bar oil and a gallon of the used fryer oil, tried it in the chainsaw. I ended up with a winter like mix, kind of thin. It works the same as plain bar oil, but doesn't seem to have the best lubricating properties. I wonder if something thicker, like 80w90 gear oil would work better, but I think the price of the 'other' oil would be something to consider before trying it. All in all, I'll use what I have but I'm not sure I would do it again...

I have heard of this being done by some people that cut wood for smoking BBQ to avoid hydrocarbons in the smoke during the smoking process. Seems a little excessive to me, I guess there are plenty of things that will 'hurt' me before a few drops of oil on a piece of smoldering wood under my brisket, or turkey, or whatever.
