Pressure lantern

[maple_leaf_eh]

The equivalent lantern in Canada is a Coleman white gas device. https://www.colemancanada.ca/en_CA/l...aphtha&start=1 Pressure tank on the bottom, feeding a generator, and the vapour burns in a rather fragile fabric mantle. The flame is contained by a cylindrical gas globe and a steel cap. To hang and carry it, there is a swinging bale handle.

The scale of issue is quite good. Someone figured out that the best container is a rectangular sheet metal box with a hinge and hasp. Throw some spare mantles, a generator and a 2" diameter fuel funnel inside, and that bad boy is a lifesaver. The heat from a lantern will keep the arctic tent warm and toasty!

I have seen a sheet metal reflector from the bottom that screws down with the top nut, and resembles a giant coffee cup. Otherwise, the heat coming off the top hat will cook your hand (and burn your glove or mitt).
