Product Description
Coleman has the most practical, simplist, and safest solution for kerosene lanterns. I collect antique and modern camping lanterns and stoves and this is my favorite kerosene lantern. Why? Simple to light, strong light output, and when you turn it off, it goes out right away. This kerosene lantern takes only a minute longer to light than a camping lantern that uses liquid fuel (white gas/coleman fuel). Other kerosene lanterns are more complex, have a more coplicated startup procedure, and don't turn off immediately. The reason for this is an internal schrader valve in the lantern valve system that cuts off the kerosene when you turn of the lantern. The simplest lanterns are either propane or Coleman fuel lanterns. The safest is kerosene since the fuel won't explode (like gas can). Another point to consider is that kerosene is cheaper to purchase; around here I can get k1 kerosene for around $4 per galleon while Coleman fuel costs around $10 per galleon.

Sometimes, you just can't beat a classic kerosene lantern to light up your campsite. This model is iconic lantern maker Coleman's brightest such device, offering high-intensity light output with the included #11 mantles. It provides up to 5.5 hours of burn time on one two-pint kerosene tank, and -- thanks to an easy-to-operate, single-knob control -- it's as intuitive to use as it is durable. The fuel tank is coated on the interior to hold up to repeated use, and a "porcelain-ized" ventilator resists rust. Includes an automatic tip cleaner.

The company crafts coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days, airbeds that are comfortable and won't deflate during the night, a complete line of bright and long-lasting LED lights, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and more.
