Wow, I did not know you could use #1 diesel in these lamps, thanks so much for sharing

Will be lighting the Aladdin lamps in the next video coming up soon

Yes we have rabbits used chicken wire to make a fence this past summer

I don't own one yet. The wicks only job is to cause the mantel to heat up to 2000+ degrees F. That's what causes the mantel to glow like an incandescent light bulb, which can get up to 500 degrees F. Propane lanterns like Colemans do this as well. You have to have a pure heat source to do it, some pressurized and some not. I'm sure the actual BTU output is probably closer to 2500 to 5000 BTUs. That's still a hell of an output if your trying to keep a small room or two warm during a power outage. Couple these with a couple small portable heaters like a Mr. Buddy Flex and your looking at a pretty dynamic heating system if you don't have a fireplace or woodburning stove in your house/apartment.

Best place to get an Aladdin lamp is eBay this winter.

Yes there are a few on Amazon like this one: Brand: Light Of Mine 4.2 out of 5 stars20 Reviews Light Of Mine Princess Feather Oil Lamp Ornate Decorative Antique Pedestal Style Glass Oil Hurricane Lamp Clear with 3/4" Wick roll (Green) Light Of Mine Princess Feather Oil Lamp Ornate Decorative Antique Pedestal Style Glass Oil Hurricane Lamp Clear with 3/4" Wick roll (Green)

If you have a VPN you can change it to United States and get on United States sites that away.

@@hasenourlv I don't yet, but I guess I should. Thanks for reminding me 👍🙏 This said, even with a vpn, I would probably find difficulties getting my order delivered. Most of the times, commercial sites only locally accessible also keep their delivery politics local. I will get one though bcse other than that, It's a great way to get access to foreign informations. 👍 Have a blessed day.

@@RenoLaringohi, did you buy this lamp? I would like to purchase it in Europe

You can order lamps and supplies from Lehmans, the Amish store in Ohio, or buy them used on eBay listed under Aladdin lamps. Yes the tubular wick is a huge advancement over the old style singular wick. But it is the unique mantle that actually increases the light more so then the wick. The Aladdin 12 and those prior suck air from the bottom which are my favorite, but if they suddenly suck any additional air they can suddenly greatly enlarge the flame so they have to be watched closer than the newer models. But having an Aladdin oil lamp burning in your home gives an ambience you cannot get anywhere else. Ask any owner or collector. Thanks for watching. Larry and Vickie

@@hasenourlv I don't know if this will help anyone but I've rejeted a flat wick style to increase the brightness and efficiency and it's definitely maby twice to three times brighter 🔆 than before having two of them hence knowing. And less smell also (using #2 regular size on mason jars) from Amazon along with 14"tall chimney. Which of course also helps creating more draft with each and every inch. If and when I find a taller chimney I'll most definitely pounce on that find!!! And if possible I suggest placing it in a mirrored corner of the room and not facing it since I prefer shadeless. And I happen to be using 7/8"width wicks. Hopefully I've helped at least one.

Not olive oil, because it would clog the screens. Aladdin Lamps can’t use the paraffin oils sold in Walmart for the same reason.

@@hasenourlvhow about sunflower oil?

Yes, you won’t have to modify anything. Both can be found on eBay, just match your globe size and globe ring. The ring diameter is somewhat different then earlier models so be sure you get the one designed for the 23.

@@hasenourlv thank you so much, I really appreciate your help, have a great day

So he’s making a commercial for a lamp 107 years old. If you were smart you could figure out the newest lamp he had was from the 60’s. He uses that one because it’s easier to use than one over 100. Wahahahaha 🤮🔫

Aladdin lamps are awesome and wonderful. I have some extra wicks. on the wick turning knob you will see symbols or dates which will tell you which wick you need. let me know and I might have an extra ot two

All Aladdin’s do have mantles, but, yes you can burn any Aladdin without the mantle, but the mantle multiplies the light and is what gives you the equivalent of a 50 watt bulb. Majestic is also a very good lamp and with the mantle gives a lot of light

I bought a few about 15 years ago......they did not have mantle but did have the round wicks. That was the hot ticket at the time.

After you get your chimney and shade your lamp will be worth $250.00 to $300.00. So a very good purchase. You can find a good glass Shade on eBay find one around 30.00 and a chimney around $25.00. Try to find a chimney with the Aladdin logo they won’t break as easy as others. If it did not come with the shade holder you will have to get one also about $12.00. But all in all a very good purchase. Enjoy.

@@hasenourlv thank you; yes, I've done some shopping on Ebay as well as at Lehman's since I have bought from them before. I am very pleased with this lamp and look forward to getting it up and running. I will purchase a case of Aladdin oil as well as at least two mantles since the combined shipping costs would be cheaper to North Pole ... as for the chimney yes I agree only the real Aladdin will do. I plan t post a video on my youtube channel when I get it running. czcams.com/users/michaeldavidheit is the link.

I have an extra wick, and a shade you could have just for the cost of shipping. Let me know if you are interested.

I did not know about Vermont Lanterns, thanks for the info.

@@hasenourlv Don't forget the oil. They have a limit of 6, but Lehman's has oil in stock.

We've had the power out for a while, a couple of times this year (D.C. area). They were great to have.

With hurricane Ian bearing down on Florida's gulf coast, hundreds of thousands of Floridians will wish they had an Alladin table lamp.

Congratulations, would love to see a picture of your lamps when you get them.

I love the caboose lamps. Caboose lamps are very collectible and are much the same. Your dad is right the BTU’s they give off is equivalent to a small furnace.

I'm regular people. I live 4 miles out of D.C. and not off the grid. I have 4 of them.

I will be doing a video in September where I will be lighting all of the Lamps

True only if you purchase a new lamp. I own a new one and a model 11 and like the model 11 better. No flare ups compared to the max 500.

Yes, The Aladdin can be very expensive retail, but I have bought the parts on eBay and have put one together for less than $60.00. You would be amazed how much more light it puts out for reading, or when it comes to performing tasks that require light then a regular oil lamp.

@@hasenourlv - I"m cheap, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't have an Aladdin if I could get one for 60 dollars. I recognize quality, I just don't want to pay top dollar for quality. What parts do I need to look for on E-Bay? And is it possible to also get the lampshade?

@@donmiller2908 Hi don, Look for a font that includes burner and chimney I have seen them go for as low as $35.00 on eBay. Sometimes they include the shade holder, if not get a shade holder around 10.00 should be 9 1/2 to 10” shade, and watch for a shade for around $20.00 Nice talking to you

@@donmiller2908 one thing you can also look at is incandescent lantern mantles. Due to the efficiency and high temp clean burning nature of the round wick lanterns you can get incandescent mantles for them. They are just a larger version of the ones from camping lanterns. Though if you do go with the incandescent mantle you may have to go with an extra tall flue which makes it kind of hard to move around. But if you are just using it as emergency lighting it is VERY worth it as it burns incredibly cleanly with no soot and looks like a 60 watt light bulb.

I mounted mine with a rubber flange and Radiator clamps worked even better than I expected

Piece of junk

@@joereyes8835 yes we are doing some re-engineering currently and are determined to get it to at leAst put out 400 Watts, will update you on the progress and let you know what you will need to make it work, Backward engineering

We are currently re-engineering the wind turbine, is so different from most other turbines so getting it to produce the desired Watts has been sort of a challenge for us. We just picked up a rubber flange from the hardware store and mounted it that away works great.
