[Stoves] Vegetable oil or biodiesel?

Liquid vegetable oils make excellent vehicle fuels.  Solid fats burn 
well in diesel engines although fully heated fuel systems are required 
to get fats to flow to the engine.

Always feels a bit of a waste using them in heaters or generators.  No 
doubt in some situations it makes sense.
