    Awesome little storm lantern. We had them when I was a kid back in the 60s on the farm. We were always losing power but the farm doesn't stop so you need these. I remember the big red ones we had called "crescent" or something like that. And today we use them on the beach at night on low tides to dig for clams! Priceless

    honestly had a cheap one for years just hanging up for decoration and recently fired it up! I really enjoy just looking at the flame and now I got sucked in and went and bought a dietz, propper lamp. I really like the look of this one too and probably will add it to the collection!

    Your tip on raising the wick after extinguishing is important. I snuffed out one of my Dietz, didnt raise wick this 1 time. A week later I picked up the lantern by the top to move it and noticed it was just a little warm. I raised the wick and saw an ember, smoldered all that time. And I know better. Great vid, kero rules.

    Never let a lantern wick look like that, trim it and keep it low, the flame should be yellow white and should not smoke or make soot, it will make some soot when you light it but it shouldnt make any when the globe and burner cone are in place. Only use a fuel with a flash point of 150 degrees Fahrenheit and never anything volitile in a lantern. Also, paraffin and kerosene are the same thing in non American dialects, in America paraffin is liquid wax and not suitable for use in one of these lanterns, use lamp oil or kerosene.

    • @tamarackoutdoors
      @tamarackoutdoors  9 лет назад +1

      Hi themadscientest, thanks for the clarification. Yes, in the UK paraffin is a liquid (kerosene in USA) and not paraffin wax for things like candle making etc.

      The trim should result should be of a rounded tip shape (the burning end) so the flame stays uniform when burning.

    Good review! The ring on top of the chimney is for one purpose only. With your thumb around the bail handle you hook that ring with a finger so you can pull the chimney up to tilt out the globe. It gives you way more control in lowering the chimney onto the globe gently while making sure the glass is aligned.
    Also, after the wick is burned and properly trimmed and the globe has been freshly cleaned, set the wick height to 1/8'' or 2.5mm (instead of 5mm?) above the top of where it protrudes from the burner guide. When you light it, then lower the globe, there will be no smoke at all to soot up the globe and the flame will be nearly normal in size.

    • @gsp49
      @gsp49 4 года назад

      Also this lantern is a cold blast type, so after a few minutes of burning the flame will rise and need further adjustment, usually turning down. again.

    They can run on paraffin but not inside. If using it outdoors, then paraffin, kerosene, lamp oil etc is fine. They actually run really well on diesel too. But indoors only quality lamp oil should be used.
    The loop on top of the lamp is only for removing the globe, not for hanging it from.
    I’ve had 24 hours of burn time from quality paraffin from a single tank.
    Trimming the wick is also vitally important. Just trimming the corners off or ideally cutting it to a curve makes the flame a much better shape.

    In the USA.....I use "Klean Strip Klean Heat" Kerosine Alternative Fuel. You can buy it at Home Depot, Lowes, Farm Tractor Supply. This is a reduced Sulfer and highly refined K1 that is odorless and spotless when the lamp is tuned correctly. Suitable for indoors and out without the PARRIFIN WAX clogging the wicks. Its Suitable for 1/2" flat or round/and larger wicks with a flash point of 150°F and will help prevent run always in open globe lamps similar to an Aladdin or regular open vent globe lamp.
    I use "ALWAYS" Parafin WAX in all small 3/16" and smaller wicked candle lamps. I use Medallion lamp oil in them. Medallion Parrafin also wont freeze and the odorless high quality, super refined is good for all lamps inside/outside.......this is the only one that I find wont clog the wicks of 1/2" or smaller. Just an excellent oil, they make both Parrafin and refined K1.
    Now be carefull....read the labels both manufacturers make a paraffin base and a refined K1 and there's a big difference. NEVER USE PARAFFIN in a large wick on because it clogs and ruins the wicks. The wax slows the capillary action. Parrafin only fuel to use in a 1/4" wick or smaller because you don't want it so hot and the fluid doesn't have As far to flow in the wicks. Outside only lamps "CROWN K1" is very good also.

When I light the wick initially it burns well, but after about 5 minutes the flame shrinks, the wick will also be red and burning too which I know isn't supposed to happen, i'm thinking either the wick hasn't soaked up the fuel which is strange because i've filled the lantern 85% of the way, I also trim the wick before use and get the same result. It could also be the fuel, either way i'm not sure, if anybody has encountered this problem and knows a fix it would be appreciated!

      420, your wick is plugged up and cannot provide enough fuel flow by capillary action. If you mixed fuels sometimes they will form a honey-like goo in the wick fibers. The best thing you can do is dump the old fuel and make sure there is no residue inside the tank, replace the wick with a new one and add clean fresh fuel.

      Home Depot has Klean Heat for $10 a gallon. Walmart has Kerosene, maybe $6 a quart. My gas station sells it in bulk for $5.50 a gallon, bring your own jug.. Your wick is plugged for sure.
      My favorite Dietz 2500 was stored for 2 years with kerosene and citronella oil in it. I had it since new and was blown away by the goo. I washed it out with carb cleaner, then boiled hot soapy water in the tank. It was blown dry with a heat gun. With a new wick and 1/4 tank of Klean Heat, it burns for at least 6 hours straight with no wick adjustment.
      My Dietz No 8 Air Pilot burns straight diesel fuel, smells clean even indoors. I didn't try it in my Fuerhand Baby. It has Klean Heat in it. The Baby uses 1/2'' wick and they are all over eBay. I think Walmart has them in the camping department.
      I'd say try a different fuel and only fill it with a few ounces. You should get a nice flame the size of a quarter if everything is right. The burnt wick should be trimmed flat across with sharp scissors and just barely snip the corners off. After 6-10 hours the wick carbons up. Tilt out the globe, run the wick up an inch, roll the crust off with your fingers. Run the wick back down to almost 1/8'' out of the wick guide and you are ready to roll for 6-8 hours more.

      Diesel, Bio-Diesel, and Olive Oil are not suitable substitutes for a Kerosene lamp, because they have a flash point over 200 deg. Fahrenheit. Also, "Paraffin" in Europe is Kerosene. Paraffin Oil in the US. is liquid Candle Wax, and is mis-labeled for use in oil lamps and lanterns. It is only suited for Candle Oil Lamps that use a small diameter (under 1/4") round wick.

Lamp oil, and suitable lamp oil substitutes have a flash point between 141 and 145 f. Paraffin in the UK is Kerosene. In the Paraffin Oil in the US. is liquid candle wax, and should not be used in oil lamps or lanterns. It is only suitable for use in candle oil lamps.

      I aim to find out soon. Got the lamp, but I want to use cooking oil. The only problem I anticipate is wicking the oil up the wick. Will try using a wick already immersed in cooking oil.
      Cooking oil is safer and pretty much will not catch fire if spilled. Unlike kerosene. And cooking oil won't put out as much soot as kerosene.
