Forgot to grab it the other day will check on wednesdayLet me check on the shipping for you from here and how to box it up
Get a 200a and a 228 and you'll be set. The older ones from up to the 80s are better than what you'll get new today. Find a 426 3 burner, a 425, 413, and you'll be set. Coleman white gas is the best.
Oh yeah!! I tested it out in my driveway and while the flame is going initially to start the process, it throws off some nice black smoke that you can tell wouldn't be good in any enclosed space. It's also from the pre-safety age.Be careful with that. They make lots of heat & Carbon Monoxide too.
Open space or it might be the best sleep of your life.
I agree. Good advice.
I was not super impressed with with the Kerosene Lanterns. Generators take pretty constant cleaning though they are bright.
So I want to get a Coleman lantern to go with my stove. Should I get one of the new dual fuels? Or get an older model kerosene off ebay? Just looking for bullet proof reliability and versatility - I know you can get kerosene everywhere, but you can say the same for unleaded. Or can you? Planning on some long trips maybe including South America at some point. What should I look for?
