Perhaps that are types and grades of motor oil out there that will work with

It would make as much sense to fill the can with mud, add one
electrode, and feed it against the shell. Some may no doubt find
their life's mission in then determining what grade of oil (to replace
the water) would improve this option.

It would certainly offer more caloric mass than a resistor, is freely
available, and all would quite agree - conductive and lossy.
