What you are seeing as smoke is vaporized oil of one type or another or Dept 56 glyseron. The oil does not burn it vaperizes. I have used a variety of oils over the years, including WD-40, lamp oil and BBQ lighter fluid. WD-40 is very good as is lamp oil. Dept 56 smoke fluid is not compatable with any of the other choices and seems to coat the heating element in about two weeks rendering it useless. All my test were run on Seuth smoke generators without fans. Because they all rely on a heating element of very fine wire, they will burn out, especially if left on and out of fuel. Also, over filling will damage the efficience of smoke generators sometimes permanently. Have fun with your trains.
