Coleman Dual-Fuel Lanterns
Savy campers know that lanterns burning white gas (Coleman fuel) or regular gas burn brighter, hotter and longer per dollar spent than newer lanterns using propane cylinders or expensive batteries. Liquid gas burning lanterns not only produce a brighter light, they also help keep you warm on cool nights and help kill bugs in the dead of summer. Yes, sometimes old-school is better, but these days it's getting hard to find traditional gas-burning lanterns because they're often considered a safety hazzard and few stores want to sell them.
Thankfully, we can still turn to eBay where we find the largest selection of gas lanterns and the best prices too!! This website is authorized by eBay to look into their database and extract all the gas burning camping lanterns currently for sale and display them for you here. Clicking on any lantern shown below will transfer you to that specific listing on eBay's site. Enjoy!
I've been using my Northstar dual-fuel for about two years. There are a number of great features on this lantern:
The wire "cage" really does protect the lantern. Mine's taken a few bumps and the globe is fine, thanks to the cage.
The fuel pump is great! Old style Coleman liquid fuel appliances required you to turn the pump counter clockwise, cover a thumb hole, pump the unit 20-30 times, then close the pump. This lantern is simple - just pump the unit - no thumb holes to deal with, and no need to open/close the pump valve.
Instastart button is nice, but not bullet-proof. In windy conditions I sometimes still have to resort to matches, but overall it's a great feature that works about 90% of the time to light the lantern. In addition, sometimes there's quite a puff of black smoke when the lantern lights. It's not a hazard, just takes a little getting used to.
The single "tube sock" mantle is easy to install, durable, and very bright, but they are more expensive than traditional tie-on mantles. They come with wire twists that fit onto grooves in the generator. Mine usually last an entire camping season (about a dozen overnight trips).
Here's a few cons I've noticed:
I seriously doubt you'll get 13 hours of burn time on a full tank of fuel, even with the lantern at the lowest setting. For one thing, you can only fill the tank about 2/3rd's full due to the placement of the filler hole (plus you need to leave air for the pump to operate correctly). I average about 6-8 hours with a tank of fuel. You can usually go an entire weekend without refilling the tank.
Residue. Sometimes the instastart takes awhile to work, and you get a puff of black smoke when it finally does fire up. The smoke kind of leaves a residue on the inside of the lantern, as well as on the top where the thumb screw is. This is common with most liquid fuel lanterns I've owned, just clean the globe from time to time.
