You can't go wrong with a Feurehand lantern. I've got 5 of them and never had a single problem out of any of them. I also have 3 Dietz. 2 of them are great. The other one leaked right out of the box. I sealed it myself because i didn't want to pay to ship it back.
The Feurehands are my favorite. They're reliable and never give me any problems. They will last forever if you take care of them. I top mine off when they're low on fuel so my wicks last longer and wash the globes regularly. You can't beat their quality. I hope y'all get the same reliability that I've gotten out of mine. I just used 2 of my Feurehands last week while trout fishing and camping in north Georgia. It's been 15 years and they're still going strong. I can honestly say that you picked a good one.
do you find it gives enough light when camping?
Why u got so many?
@@cappaslangmurderer er more light...? Do just have one light at home?
@@louisebrookes2630 No, but I'm not lighting my home with paraffin lanterns.
THANK YOU for a simple, but well articulated video. Greetings from Phoenix, AZ
Love the olive drab color !
Didn’t see it til she pointed it out there...
Thick denim makes a GREAT emergency wick..Also, the Feuerhand lanterns are amazingly bright for thier size.
Best colour
Awesome..just had mine delivered …
Great lantern. its the only one i have that doesnt blow out in 30 mph blustery conditions. just wating to try it in a full on winter storm..
So happy to see new videos on your channel!!
Paraffin is not the same as kerosene. Paraffin is a refined form of kerosene, it does not produce any smoke and is safe to use indoors.
I put together a small stable of deitz airpilot model lanterns as part of my preps. I picked up four of them plus a coil of wick, spare globes and caps. It’s true tgat the ones I picked are made in China , but they’ve been made there for a long time and the quality is good.
thank you
Looks delicious!!
Couple of things, be careful not to lower the wick too far when extinguishing as the wick can drop out of the ratchet and fall into the fuel, this is a pain to re-thread and is a dirty/smelly job. Also the way you describe how to remove the glass is not correct, to remove the glass you pull the top of the spring mounted top and the glass assembly tilts away from the fuel cap side 90 degrees, the glass can then be removed for cleaning/replacement. Your welcome!
Very instructive !!
Petromax Feuerhand are great lanterns
you call this a review ?
Love it.
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice to have your channel up and running again Selica after such a long time.
I hope your ok and it’s not too difficult to do these videos during the lockdown. :0)
Thanks, Luckily I have a nice big garden and lots of time on my hands.
Are you goofy? People have used these indoors for many many years....like before electricity. In fact, Omish people still do.
I have three Feuerhand lamps and love them. My problem is, that although two of them work beautifully, the third one does not. I have it full of approved fuel, a Feuerhand wick, I light it, leave it for a couple of minutes, then wind the wick up so the flame is around an inch high. It stays that way for a few seconds, then the flame grows smaller and smaller, and if I leave it like that it goes out altogether. If I wind the wick up further to increase the flame again, it just once again become smaller and then goes out. It's brand new, have only had it a couple of days, and don't know what I can do to fix this problem. Any suggestions? I would assume it's not wicking the fuel properly?
You might have a small leak in one of the cold air tubes.
Whale oil is distilled from whales. Coal oil replaced it and is distilled for coal.
I nearly fell off my chair when she said whale oil distilled from coal lol. Such ignorance and lack of self awareness.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed this. I was like 'WTF?!'.
They do mine coal in wales
Paraffin wax allows you to use them specifically in the home...
You're spoiling us with all the new content! I'm not complaining though. Nice lamps, kind of a trip down memory lane for me.
Thanks, Rob, Lots more coming.

where is her english from?
Are Deitz lamps better than Feuerhand Hurricane Lanterns? Which ones can you safely use indoors, bedroom, with less smell/combustion, and less fire risk (tip safe) or Vermont Lanterns?
@ 1:00 "whale oil distilled from coal"......have I missed something?
Was that wick just cut straight across? No corner trim? Lamp oil from the video I take it, not kerosene?
What about the Coleman ones that use the propane little cylinder tanks God bless you
Do use them indoors.with candles you also do, what is the problem? No carbonmonoxide is made! Off grid houses use...you guessed it!
Which oil do you recommend for indoors, can vegetable oil be used, olive oil?
1:00..."Whale Oil distilled from ..WHAT!!!!..Corn/Coal????...Really.
Thanks! I'm a little confused about the fuel naming convensions. For instance, I have k-1 type kerosene for an emergency heater. Is that a suitable fuel for one of these?
As I've read, I think it is, but it might not be very pure (quite smelly and may contain sulphur etc that you'd be breathing in). Also read not to burn red kerosene as the dye is toxic to breath.
Is it possible with these lanterns to turn the burning wick down into the fuel tank and set it on fire?
@@NewWorldHoarder thanks
Ive seen a kerosene fire on a human.Bad scene.Can ya turn a kerosene lamp into olive oil.???
I have not had success with my lantern. Even kerosene burns-up the wick quickly.
Purchase a Fuerhand lamp with German tech before purchasing a Chinese copy of a Dietz.
Lady you have got all the facts Wrong, That Lantern will Run for 28 hours on ONE Tank of fuel which is 340mils and that 4 Litre Can is 4000mils will last @ 4 hours a night a total of 82.35 days OR 329.4 Hours.
You should mention that the new wick needs to soak up kerosene for a couple hours before lighting.
It only take a few minutes
Can this lantern use Coleman camping fuel?
Do not use Coleman camp stove fuel in these. Do not use gasoline in these. Both are too flammable for any wick type appliances. Explosions, injuries, house fires and more can result.
Kerosene is the best recommended safe fuel for this type lantern. There are a few other options that are safe but real kerosene is easy enough to obtain in advance of need.
Be advised that while liquid paraffin lamp oils are ok in wick type lamps and lanterns, they will fail if used in extreme cold conditions. The lamp oil becomes so thick that by -30 degrees Fahrenheit it will not wick enough to maintain a flame. Significant reduction in flame will be noticed by 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you have access to actual aviation jet fuel know as Jet A in the U.S., it is a safe highly refined kerosene.
Just took note that there may be a terminology difference between USA and other countries in regard to the American kerosene and your liquid paraffin fuel. They may be the same fuel by different common names. However the American lamp oil typically for use in indoor decorative oil candles is a liquid paraffin that is different from our kerosene. It is often scented. It does not flow well for winter conditions outdoors at low to extreme low temperatures For emergency lighting under varying unknown temperatures stay with the kerosene as we Americans call it.
Very nice video. Did comment before, but have now deleted to avoid confusion from future views. Cheers for reading commands and taking action.
where do I buy one of these?
Lehman's carries it.
Yah, yah, yah.
No offence i have one and the very over exageratted claims here should be taken with a lot of salt. Sales pitch 👎
Have you ever been to Scotland?, asking because of your accent.
I have a
Do you have an Amazon influencer link? Just a suggestion stay safe 😷
"Notorious", really? Think you mean "famous". Try reading a dictionary before attempting to use big words 😂
Oh my, beautiful lady
Is it the trousers that do it for you?
I use olive oil.
Are you serious?
@@cappaslangmurderer Yes...!!!!!. Used it for years.
Smells good?
It works it just smells gross. You could do much better with a battery powered LED lantern and a small solar panel.
shit, you wanne be my girlfriend?
God you’re so beautiful
