Where were you looking for kero? If you go back and need to find some, let me know as it's easy to come buy there. Much easier than white gas (coleman's). The lamp oil makes the white gas burn longer. The only issue with it is depending where you are performing, some places won't let you use the lamp oil due to the residue it will leave.
