Listed in order of flame strength:

1) petroleum jelly -- produces a strong, but initially sooty flame; container very near empty in 30 minutes
2) chapstick -- produces a strong, clean flame (only slightly less flame than petroleum jelly; container about 2/3rds empty in 30 minutes
3) alcohol-based hand sanitizer -- produces a small, nearly clear flame; container 1/2 empty after 30 minutes
4) vegetable oil (olive oil) -- produces a tiny, clean flame; container only 1/4 empty after 30 minutes.

5) Carmex -- produces a tiny to small, clean flame (after an initial sooty period); container 1/2 empty after 30 minutes.

Yes. TP will burn, but (butt) I don't want to contemplate how much it would take to last 30 minutes.
