Looks wonderful Tony, I bet the heat really feels good. Those barely above freezing temperatures are the worst. 1 deg and humid can feel much...
Went ahead and fired it up. Here it is all the way to the right, in company of it's larger and older siblings. This is the first time it had been...
Well now, that's what I've been doing wrong.
Nearly 80 and RAINING here today. I don't know when I moved to Florida but apparently it happened. Humidity thick enough to cut with a knife.
My girlfriend just sent me this: https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/sony-developing-wearable-air-conditioner-controlled-by-app/ My...
My goal is mantles that will work acceptably well even if not the best, while not being a big deal should I damage them. I expect that is possible.
Thanks Alby! That's almost exactly what I ordered.
@Carlsson None of my Coleman lanterns will maintain a flame without a mantle. Normally I'm very much a buy nice or buy twice type of guy, get...
@ColinG Just ordered 20 of those mantles from USA Ebay. Thanks for the tip!

The stoves are mostly empty cases, not a functional piece to be put together from the lot. The lanterns are another story; I'm at four functional...
@Norman Thank you sir. I just bought a globe locally for about that price. Before purchasing a vent, I'll need to properly sort through a bulk...
Oh yes, it'll be easy to get into condition. I just don't do unfired, all my equipment are users. I've posted it in the trading post area, in case...
Good deal, solid runner. I'm finding I prefer single mantle lanterns as well.
Recently made a bulk purchase of lanterns and stoves, almost all of which were in parts condition, and this was among them. There's likely a...
Beautiful lantern, well done! I'll add one more possible failure mode for future readers of this thread. The first generator I purchased for kero...
Field & Stream Hope this works. Looks like it was mentioned in a 1987 issue of Field & Stream. Took me a bit to realize how that'd work, then...
Aw, so sorry to hear this. My condolences to all.
