Dont turn it up so high, just a good flame. You get the same amount of light but a better runtime and less soot.

[@GearGadgetReviews]

Good point👍🏻 thank you

[@Steve-Goff]

With repetitive use, you’re probably better off with the better quality one. I have a couple of oil lamps but no lanterns. I have a few gallons of lamp oil and some extra wicks should SHTF.

[@GearGadgetReviews]

lol. Just bought another one ….

[@iraqiimmigrant2908]

The feuerhand is going to last 100 years with regular use. The cheap one is going to leak fuel in no time and drive you nuts.

[@matthoward1174]

WT Kirkman sells these Feuerhands, Dietz, and their own brand out of California. These are much better quality then any of the other new lanterns available, and as good or better than the old Dietz lanterns. Thicker gauge metal, better glass, and better fit and finish.

[@jtc1947]

@ MATT... any thanks for the INFO!

[@neilforeman4430]

$12 for a piece of Chinese junk versus high quality engineering and product mfg for $60. Don’t be afraid to drop your hard earned money on a good product. Stop buying Chinese junk folks! Great video as always.

Absolutely! I have a couple of antique Fuerehand lanterns. one is from the late 30's, the other is from the mid 40's before East & West Germany split. plus I have a couple from the late 50's-early 60's, the Sturmkappe versions with the large tanks that give a burn time of up to 72 hours. all have an excellent build quality that outshines anything made in China.

[@jtc1947]

@@catey62The chin-chin stuff is cheaper but QUALITY ENDURES! Put your money into something that is going to LAST!

[@iraqiimmigrant2908]

The Chinese lamps leak and the glass shatters very easily. They end up in the landfill.

[@driveabout1world872]

The German lanterns don’t soot up like the Dietz lanterns. I burn Kleen Heat in mine.

[@jtc1947]

@ drive about?? Pls advise? I take it that "KLEEN HEAT" is a liquid? Forgive me? I am new to the scene? Thanks Much

I’ve always liked these style of lanterns. Had one growing up. Used it all the time.

Love the oil lamps. Light is so much better

[@GearGadgetReviews]

Agree!

[@johnnorman7708]

Dietz is Chinese. The quality is pretty decent. The el cheapo Chinese lanterns don't even make tha grade compared to Dietz made in China. The Feuerhand of Germany is the Mercedes of Lanterns.

[@yahhr57]

Older Dietz are not Chinese. That cheap ones here has certainly is though!

Dont be ashamed for spending the extra $ on the Fuerehand lantern, theyr'e worth every cent. the build quality of them is far superior, and the materials used in their construction will leave the cheap chinesium ones in the dark every time. I collect Hurricane lanterns, and have a few Fuerehand lanterns. one of them dates to the late 1930's ( a 323, hot blast model , and the other is a little 175 Superbaby, cold blast style like yours, made in the war years ) both of them are in excellent condition and work as good as the day they were made. give your chinesium one away to somebody, and get another couple of Fuerehands, you wont be disapppointed. P.S., its pronounced foyer-hand, as I discovered recently. greetings from Australia.

Now you need the reflector screen (top cover) for the lantern.

[@GearGadgetReviews]

What are these you speak of???

[@jtc1947]

@ jeep Can pls ex[lain about the REFLECTOR SCREEN" ? MANY THANKS!!

[@hatchetman5801]

so it's all about budget, get the german make if your bank account can handle $60, but i have the red one and it functions as a lamp, just be confident in your finesse and time to pay only $12 to operate a hurricane lantern

Now you need to buy an Aladdin lamp from Lehmans.

[@CraigG21]

Although not an oil lamp, I am impressed with the Olight Olantern Mini LED Lantern. It has a nice warm glow like an oil lamp at lower brightness levels.

[@GearGadgetReviews]

I also use the Olantern Classic Pro lantern. I hang it off my rooftop tent to light up my truck bed👍🏻

[@jtc1947]

"QUALITY ENDURES!" BTW? What was on the chin-chin lantern that POPPED when You lifted the GLOBE? I heard "something and saw SOMETHING move?? Pls Clarify

[@GearGadgetReviews]

Just the globe, they all make a little noise when you raise/lower them. And the top sometimes pops into place when you move the lever arm.

[@jtc1947]

@@GearGadgetReviews The chin-chin deal sounded really LOUD when You were moving things around. I didn't notice THAT about the Lantern from GERMANY! THANKS

Yes! LEHMAN'S is in Ohio and a lot of their stuff is AMERICAN or QUALITY stuff from Germany etc. You buy china and it might be cheap but USUALLY the quality is lacking!

[@jtc1947]

Aplogies for all the comments! Is Kerosene the BEST for the lantern? Or is something BETTER??? BTW? What colors available besides the BLUE on the Lamp from GERMANY? How about the lamp from china? ONLY "RED" ? (DUH!)

[@GearGadgetReviews]

I like kerosene, burns very clean. There are a TON of different colors they make for these German lanterns👍🏻

[@jtc1947]

@@GearGadgetReviews I wasn't sure about the Kerosene as opposed to OTHER possible fuels ( FUMES etc.) BLESSED BE.

[@iraqiimmigrant2908]

@@jtc1947I use oil lamps indoors at home on a regular basis. Kerosene works fine if it’s a quality lamp, like the Feuerhand or Cosmos type (round wick) lamps. I use lamp oil kerosene or Klein Heat Kerosene alternative as opposed to 1-K which has less odor. I never detect any carbon monoxide. Alternatively you can burn odorless paraffin or Firefly fuel (which is nontoxic). I actually prefer kerosene for some of my lamps because it’s cheaper, burns easier, and preserves the wick much longer (it evaporates better so I can lower the wick). I use kerosene in a Cosmos burner (it has a round wick) which produces a lot of light for its little size and very little odor.
