Bar Oil Hoarding Thread

Ive never cooked with bar oil before. Any good?!

 

Actually. From the results I'm getting. It works every bit as well as store bought bar oil does . Think about it , it's a high temp lubricant. Never was ment to be ingested into the human body. May as well use it for something appropriate.

 

I know a bunch of fallwrs that HAD TO use cooking oil for bar oil when cuttin timber in different cities watersheds. Like Seattle, Portland ect . It's not like I came up with the idea originally. I asked several of them over different times , how it worked . They all said basically the same thing. It works .

 

At work we had to use food grade hydraulic oil in all construction equipment used at the Poland Springs bottling plant expansion. They had the loggers use cooking oil in their saws as well. Each piece of equipment was cleaned multiple times, the hydraulic system flushed, and swapped over to food grade hydraulic fluid.
It was funny to see each piece of equipment parked on a diaper of adsorbent pads each night. Fueling was its own nightmare as well. They were so worried about diesel fuel and hydraulic fuel leaks would contaminate the groundwater supply.

 

Was at TSC yesterday buying birdseed and bar oil still on sale at $6.99. Added a couple to the hoard. Shelf was almost empty at the store.

 

RKO has Cam2 bar oil for $6.99/gall right now too.

 

Yep, bought 2 cases in Mt Vernon

 

C’mon guys, don’t tempt/enable me to buy more bar oil. I should be set for many years.

Wife and I were just in TSC to get me a 1.25g No Spill. My leaf blower isn’t liking RA @ 40/1, so I figure I’d get one to mix it @ 50. As we’re walking up to the counter I told her it was taking all I could to not grab a couple gallons of bar oil since it’s probably still cheap. I resisted though.

 

Congrats for not falling off the wagon I'm also set for many years to come, but fully understand the temptation.

 

That's what we're here for Jason!

How many gallons do you have on hand now? With the two I got yesterday I'm up to roughly nine which is a record. I guess after paying $15 a couple years ago, $7 is a bargain.

 

I have, um, 39. And 3 gallons of used hydro fluid to mix in with that.

 

39!!!

is my reaction too!

Ignore post #205 above then!

 

Hoarding issues... .

 

You might be a bar oil hoarder if.......

.....you have more gallons of bar oil than cords of wood!

 

Sounds like a good rule of thumb

 

I wonder what the rough ratio of a gallon of bar oil to a cord of bucked wood is? I’ve never really given it much thought or paid much attention.

 

38, 39… whatever it takes

 

I think we qualify for that...

 

Think of how awesome it will feel to be using $5 bar oil in the year 2055

 

I hope Jason and I live (you too Jim) to see the day and he posts pics!!! Problem is he'll be 85ish and wont be able to start his Huskies!
