I've used Aladdin lamps for years and I've always thought that their Model B was the very best design made. The more modern models were just cheaper in my opinion.

Thanks for the new video! Good info on the Aladdins, and frankly, the truth. Haha...I've had one runaway flame-out with an Aladdin, and you don't ever want to repeat THAT situation. I'm with you. Aladdins are pretty persnickety and potentially volatile unless you are going to be right there babysitting them all evening. Regular old center drafts and double-wicks are so much simpler and less demanding. Granted, you can't really beat Aladdins for a nice light. I have my Grandma's Model B lamp, and it is beautiful, sits in the middle of my dining room table, but I have since replaced the Model B burner with a Model 23, STILL wasn't happy (flame spikes) and now have it running one of the new Maxbright burners - which FINALLY burns like it's supposed to. But - have the power go out, and need expedient light? Unless I want to read or we want to play cards/games or eat at the table - around the house for room lights? I will first light up my Rayos or the double-wicks or the Millers.

You can. In fact I have just let the lamp burn dry and when it’s cool take the chimney and flame spreader out and rub my finger around it in a circle. That way you can still get a wick flat and level even after the lamp has had fuel in it.

The "Kosmos" you show is a Gaudard version of a Matador, minus its flame spreader, they aren't very good burners sadly. Actual Kosmos burners don't have the deflector cone and have a taller wick tube.
@TheWickShop 4 ай бұрын
You are correct. In fact, it was so bad as a Matador that we took the flame spreader out and run it like a Kosmos.
@IainiaI 4 ай бұрын
@@TheWickShop yes, I remember having one once, it was a nightmare to get a good flame, not a patch on real Matador burners. Gaudard don't seem to care about things like correct chimneys, they sell some Kosmos lamps with Vienna bulge type chimneys on their website (last time I looked).
@TheWickShop 4 ай бұрын
Honestly though, if you run them as a kosmos with one of our sans-rival pattern, chimneys outside of the wick being difficult to raise and lower, they do pretty good.
