I also grew up in a home where the various fats from cooking were collected in coffee cans, but my folks and siblings were coffeholics, so we used 3lb MJB or Yuban cans. I got stuck on iced tea, and never matriculated to coffee, so I didn't contribute to the cans that were used. Pretty much everybody we knew growing put their cooking fat in coffee cans. I don't recall who re-used it, or sold it, or used it as lamp fuel, I just remember the same ritual at everyone's homes.
