Liquid Fuel Lanterns?

[spoolup]

Aladdin makes some very nice indoor lamps that use lamp oil.They have a Coleman style mantle over the wick so they produce a very bright white light.I need to pick up a couple.My dad has a small collection of antique Aladdin lamps,they still make all the replacement parts for them.

STILL, they just started again, I sold my dam Aladdin due to those tards in management giving up the mantle knitter, seriously, give the ghost to the machine that makes the most important and easiest damaged part of a lantern? A fly, hard shock, old age, a gust of wind just right, a million different things could cause it be damaged, and without it, it is worthless. They can take that management idea with them to hell. There was a serous shortage of mantles just a few year back, so bad that I sold 1 for $50. Now that they are back, I kind of miss it, but the smell affects some people (worse with Kero) but still, for companies as old as this, you would think they were wiser.

FYI a google search will yield ALOT of news on the subject, but this was one of the sites I check out.

make sure the mantles for Coleman or Aladdin lamps are made in the US.... there is a potential health danger involved with inhaling dust of damaged mantles if they contain thorium (which may be present in foreign mantles) or stocks of US mantles prior to the 90's...

I love Coleman Lanterns, absolutely love em. I like the sound of the hissing, the smell of them burning and the huge amount of light they throw out.

This is one of the better lantern porn pics I have ever seen. Thank you vaj for posting it!

Your question is liquid fuelled, but you can get those same Coleman type lanterns in propane too.

They mount to the fat little cylinders, or adapt to a large cylinder on a hose.

No pouring or spilling of kerosene

Been using the same kerosene lanterns/lamps I inherited from my parents, grandparents etc...whenever the power goes. I do not consider them unreasonably dangerous, but there is some danger...if you do something foolish. Anything you light...ON FIRE...yes, some sensible handling is a good idea, but our ancestors lived with them for a long time without much trouble other than the occasional drunken fool

Try not to be that guy. If you are, you may find trouble regardless.
