    My recently fettled Coleman 220E providing some light while I did a bit of log splitting in the woodstore round the back. No light gets to that particular area so it was time for a lantern!

    Then it was time to make a little kindling.

    My 220E is a kero conversion of necessity because the pickup I had in my Coleman parts drawer was missing the outer tube, maybe due to a previous conversion attempt, I'm not sure. Anyhow, I didn't change the jet because I didn't have the correct replacement but boy is this bright, possibly even brighter that my 639!

    It's good to use lanterns for what their original purpose now and then.

    Love it mate. Looks like winter is coming for you guys. We’re deep in spring here and it’s looking great.
    Enjoy

    Great light Colin but you’ll need to fell a few trees in order to fill that log store!

    Yup, I need to order another load pretty soon although my second woodstore is already full of half seasoned logs.
