Just add kerosene/lamp oil.

Pretty cool idea but once you add the "hoodie" it would become top heavy so I would think we'd have to make some sort of holder or base for it. LadyHK would be wondering what happened to all her canning jars, he, he.

Maybe top heavy once the jar was empty, but with a full quart jar, I don't think it would be tippy at all. If you were nervous about it, 6 additional jars filled with water, placed around it would help 'secure it. a wrap of duct tape and it would be 100% stable. Or even just the jar holder out of your canning pot.

Or better yet, fill them all with gas add a ..............OK I'm not supposed to talk about that stuff. Maybe I'll just stick with the wooden holder/base Idea............

Does anyone know how long you can store kerosene?
They say that the cockroaches will be the last creature alive on this earth.
I intend on being the last person alive still stomping cockroaches.
If stored properly... indefinitely. Although most literature puts a cap at 5 years. I have some in rotation that is close to 20 years old, and it burns just fine.

Has a lot to do with the container it is stored in. There is a "stabilizer" on the market as well.
Maybe this was answered somewhere else but what is the difference between kerosene and that coleman camp fuel or "white gas"?
Doesn't one of them have some type of parafin in it?

Paraffin is usually in lamp oil and is not recommended for most kerosene lamps like the Aladdin.
The paraffin does not burn cleanly and soots up the mantle in those lamps.
Coleman fuel/camp gas/white gas, pretty much if exactly all the same. Should only be used in pressurized type devices such as pump up stoves and pump up lanterns, etc..
Lamp oil/liquid paraffin pretty much the same thing, for oil lamp and hurricane lanterns, not much anything else.
Alladan lamps are a creature of there own, and worth looking into... Lehmans has them. There pricey, and make sure you have plenty of extra mantels. Are they worth it? Yup, and I want 1 or 3!

Least we forget, a decent deep cycle/gel cell battery, panel and charger and small inverter... running strings of LED Christmas lights works really well, lower cost investment, etc..

The only thing with the aladdin lamps is the mantles. I wish there was a version of those mantels that didn't break. I absolutely hate replacing them on my coleman lamp. Seems like every time I pull it out to use it I have to put new ones on it.
