My pre-occupation with re-using oil (and solar re-chargeable batteries as well) has to do with the length of time I am planning to be out. Lord willing (and the creek don't rise) I am intending a trip between 20 and 30 days.

My goal is to come in light enough to not have to triple portage. Since fish will factor into that goal getting maximum benefit from cooking oil would be helpful.

One thing I like about the adkins fish meal that I have suggested previously is it's a light coating that seems to stay on the fish rather well. That leaves a fairly clean pan of oil left over with little residue. (very few burnt chunks etc.)

Just exploring every angle. I should probably take OS tack and just use less than I usually do. I suspect I will be still torn though when I dispose of the remnants realizing it could still be of some use.
