Thanks John, when are we going to see more of your lanterns on our site.? :-k
I suffer from a mild case of tinnitus, and hear a constant high pitched whine of about 11,000 Hz at about 40dB. :( It doesn't get in the way of...
Well three hours into the experiment and though the burner hasn't got much hotter, the cotton wick has only got up to 84°c / 184°F. :thumbup:...
The lamp has now been on for just over 90 minutes and the temperature has got up to 237°c / 460°F. 8] I don't think it's going to get any hotter...
As yet I haven't litted the lamp yet, I'll find out in due course. :-k Charring isn't really a concern as I can just replace it at the cost of a...
I've been having problems ever since I got it with keeping the shade on my TL106 level, and today I came up with the solution.! :thumbup: I bought...

The past few times I've litted my TL106 I get a flare up when opening the control cock after pre-heating. :shock: (That's with the pre-heater...
I have found one that's 80% ethanol, but if I do get it, then I run up against the problem of not having anywhere to store it... :-k
There's this one... :-k We do try so hard to keep away from children... :lol:
@podbros, what do you think of this one.? :-k
@Paul B, P.S. After over three years of daily use, we're probably desensitised to the smell anyway. :-k
My wife doesn't mind the smell at all. :D/ Fortunately, we don't get the extremes of temperatures that you get over the pond. Though I do...
With the wick lanterns I find that it's a lot easier to control the flame on a cold blast over a hot blast. 8] I can't say that I've noticed much...
I think that this style of lantern is a cold-blast lantern, so doesn't have air tubes running back down from the crown to the burner, as on my...
