Hi I need to building a 4 ohm 1500 watt "cantenna paint can style" dummy
load for audio and guitar amp work. I have forgotten what type of oil to use
for heat transfer.
Id like something easy to get (like peanut or something with a high
flashpoint).
Don't want to loose the house.

I used 'baby oil' - the local pharmacy had a bunch marked down 80% as
it was close to expiration. It is just scented mineral oil - what
could 'expire' in that? It works fine in my cantenna, and smells
better than anything else in the shack.
