"The steel has a good heat dispersion, too, so it helps prevent the torch from getting too hot. non-rusting containers would be rather expensive, or overheat at the wick, which would give a rather more flamboyant effect than desired!"

Well I don't know about that as they for a short time made plastic oil containers that I bought and used with no problem.
All I can do is guess that they said hey these will last too long as I could see no
other problem with these plastic container's.

And hey plastic must be more cost effective than metal.
Unless plastic lasts forever.
