I chose the Coleman Dual Fuel Lantern as my emergency lantern in case I am in a grid down situation. The lantern will run on either white gas (Coleman fuel) or unleaded gas, which I think is a big advantage over other types. In this video I share some tips on how to set up and use the lantern I've learned over the years. You can get this lantern here on Amazon: amzn.to/3mjX4Np

Ok. Gotta share one more lantern story. When I was in college in the 70’s, the dive club went to Florida to dive the keys and go to Disney World. It was a low budget trip, so we tent camped. One of the other guys was lighting a Coleman lantern and the match went out before the lantern lit. Realizing that the globe was full of fumes, he decided to ventilate it before trying to light it again. He bent down and blew in the match hole. What he didn’t realize was that the match head had fallen off inside and had an ember. When he blew, the ember got hot and WHOOF! The look on his face was priceless. I think he also had little balls on the ends of his eyebrow hairs.

You’re bringing back memories. We used Coleman lanterns camping, night fishing, and flounder gigging when I was a kid. I still have my grandfather’s red round globe Coleman lantern from the 50’s. I like the time saving technique you demonstrated. Leave the fuel on a little too long before lighting, and you don’t have to shave your knuckles! I’ve also found that mantles last a long time as long as you have several spares. The last one breaks in no time.

I finally broke down and sent my Model 242C lantern from December 1949 back to Coleman for service today. It was still working, but the check valve was leaking, and those are a bear to get out. For only $55, Coleman will repair your post-1927 lantern and ship it back to you, parts and shipping included. These things are fantastic, they'll run forever! I still use my Model 200 from 1969 too, as well as newer dual-mantle propane Coleman lanterns. I love 'm all!

Excellent video. Ironically I found my way here after watching a video on the invention of gas mantles. So simple but so clever. They're actually cloth mesh treated with chemicals that turn into ceramic when burned. Once that's done, it's actually the ceramic that glows with heat that creates light. Not the actual flame.

After use and when the lamp is cool, I spray the mantle with hair spray which prevents the mantles from breaking, used this method heaps of times when taking the lantern in the back of the 4x4. I also love the cool off white colour and hissing.

I love my Coleman Dual fuel lantern. I've never seen anybody light the mantles on fire with a match, that was awesome. My experience is that the mantels last longer if you put the new ones on then light it like you normally would. It flames up for a second but, they hold a better shape and last longer.

Thanks for the vid. Been using Coleman products for about 60 years! Love em! However.....on the mantle 'pre-burn'. I used to do that too. But now I just tie on new mantles and light the lantern as usual and use that first lighting as the first burn. I find that this works fine and the mantles actually last a bit longer as they seem to be tougher this way. This is what works for me, your mileage may vary......

Thanks for the video, I have one of these lanterns for about 15 years still new in box with extra mantles, it’s for a rainy day, having experienced 2 major hurricanes and the resultant power outages. That said, the ones I use regularly are the propane Coleman’s, which I have 2 and had purchased two cases of fuel on a very good deal Pro tip, don’t leave the handle in the up position while the lantern is lit as it get way hot to grab and can actually burn it hand, let the handle test to the side Again, very much appreciate the video 👍🏽

I have a Model 228E, vintage 1963, and a Model 220K, Vintage 1981. My dad bought the 228E new in '63 and I have wound up with it and I am in the middle of a rebuild on both. As far as lighting the lanterns I have been shown to light them without the lid and globe in place so if you encounter the big flareup you don't smoke up everything. A lot easier to put the match to the mantles that way. Enjoyed your video.

Instructive video! If you lightly spray the mantle with hair lacquer once it's cooled down, the mantle is far less likely to fall apart. If you then pack the lantern so that it's protected from sharp jolts -especially off-road, the mantle can be re-lit many times. (A can of cheap spray for that purpose, has been in my camping box for many years. (I'm follicularly challenged myself... 😂))

Well, my favorite go to lantern is a Coleman 200a that I bought new back in the mid 70's. It's been my go to lantern 'cause is works sooooooooo good. I got into an accident with the lantern in the back of my Ford Explorer and the globe got broken. I purchased a new globe and it's been working since. Last year we had a major power outage and the first lantern I grabbed was my 200a. I used to live in Jonesboro, GA, but we moved to Tennessee. W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

Great demonstration and instructions, brings back camping memories! The old mantles used years ago (not the ones sold today) had some thorium oxide in them, which is slightly radioactive. Not a problem unless you change the mantle and ingest the dust that is on your fingers or breathe the dust in. I don’t know when they stopped using thorium in the mantles but it was years ago. Again, not dangerous if you wash the dust off and make sure it doesn’t get into food or drink or inhale it. It is not dangerous outside the body. If anyone has old unused mantles I would throw them away. You can still buy thorium containing mantles for use in checking your Geiger counter, but do not use them in your lantern (I think they come from China). This is a great lantern for camping or when the power goes off. Thank you for explaining about the danger of carbon monoxide! I’ve also camped with old kerosene lanterns but the Coleman gives much more light without scooted glass needing to be cleaned often, and I believe the Coleman is safer than the kerosene lanterns. We used to put aluminum foil over one side to use like a spot light when moving through the woods.

Nice video and I appreciate the safety tip, but I really got discouraged to buy after the "not recommended to use indoors" part.

It also seems unpractical to have to open a window to use it, especially during the winter.

Today, I finally broke down and sent my Model 242C lantern from December 1949 back to Coleman for service . It was still working, but flickering, the check valve was leaking, and those are a bear to get out. For only $55, Coleman will repair your post-1927 lantern and ship it back to you, parts and shipping included. These things are fantastic, they'll run forever! I still use my Model 200 from 1969 too, as well as newer dual-mantle propane Coleman lanterns. You just can't beat them. Save the white gas and propane for outdoors though, use the battery operated ones indoors.

Those 242 models are great; I have more than a few, great little single mantle lanterns.

Weren't they always dual fuel? I've seldom bothered with Coleman white gas on mine from the 70s. When Coleman built the soldier's stove off this same generator base in 1942, it was multifuel....even diesel and kerosene/paraffin. Anything available.

When I was a kid, Im so amazed when I see our elders set these types of lanterns & I always thought of buying one.. I never did.. its too much commotion to set this up, theres battery & Rechargeable options nowadays🤥 So I'll leave that to old fashion people.

It takes very little time and effort once your used to it....When it's hot outside Leds and Batterys are best BUT when its COLD you cant beat the tremendous amount of HEAT they put of like a Stove AND they kill annoying flying bugs and gnats and Mosquits

I think I have a unique and perfect storage case to store this lantern with accessories in a compact and easily portable way. I think I will do a review on it.

I appreciate the video and community you reach, but I have read some pretty bad reviews about Acre Gold. Does not take much of a Google search to find out, but I do like your videos.

I have the same lanturn and love it. I use mine ever Saturday night when I go flathead catfishing. But to be honest I haven't put gasoline in it. I don't trust gasoline. But anyway thanks for sharing.

White gas IS gasoline. It just doesn't have the additives needed to increase octane and cleaners to run in a car.

And if you turn it off before the fuel runs out you have pressure in the tank do you have to release the pressure valve or the next time you want to light it up it won't start .
@SurvivalOnPurpose

No. You need pressure for it to work. As the fuel burns up the tank pressure decreases so, most likely, you will have to pump it back up a few times before the tank runs empty.
