- How to identify, and remove an Embury/Defiance bayonet style burner for those new to kerosene lanterns. I apologize for the abrupt ending. I ran out of memory... First time I ran out of batteries. I'm learning.

Helpful info.thanks for sharing. Keep em lit.
Thanks a bunch. All the best from Lake Erie.
I've come across this dilemma before, like probably every other lantern person... there are times when I have to get a similar lantern down from my collection to see which way the burner turns before I attempt to remove a very stuck one from a similar lantern.
For a break-free solvent, I usually use a 50-50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid, along with heat from my butane micro-torch to loosen stuck burners, cones, and fuel caps... as well as the rubber belt straps... Oh, yeah, I do have a pair of channel locks that I added several coats of "Plasti Dip" to the jaws... I wish they sold that stuff in smaller containers... I have to look for stuff to rubber coat to try and use it up before it hardens in the open container !
Good to see you still doing lanterns !
Thanks. Exactly the info I needed.
Cool. Glad it was helpful!
Very nice dear!
I would like to see a video that includes a tour of the workshop
Nice video, I would add anti-seize to it before reasemble. Works great!
That’s a good idea
I recently acquired a Embury Little Air Pilot No. 1 Lantern with a red globe at an estate auction. I was wondering if you knew what its function was or what it was used specifically for back in the day? I was told it was a barn lantern but I thought it was odd that a barn lantern would have a red globe instead of a clear one that would give off more light.
They were classified as barn lanterns… but remember that the glass globes were (and are) very breakable. So any time during it’s lifetime someone could have replaced a broken clear globe with the red one because it was what was available… or it could have been used as a construction/utility lantern to mark a road hazard (like we use battery lights for today.)
I wish that you could have shown how to remove the globe to get to the burner. This might be a dumb question, but I can’t get mine off. I just sold a red embry like yours and I’d like to remove the globe so I can pack it better. I haven’t been able to find a video that shows how to do it. Your video is so informative about the burner, but if you could tell me how to remove the globe, I would be ecstatic. Thanks.
Hi Cyndi. I’ll make a short video about how to do that this afternoon. In the meantime head over to Facebook and find the tubular lantern collectors group… they’ll be able to help you.
Hi Cyndi. Here’s a short tutorial. Kerosene barn lantern globe removal.

I am looking and wondering what lantern design would be the best lantern to reproduce in the USA?
have to say that I just love the look/streamline art deco style of the Embury Little Air Pilot a lot! I am curious (and others might be also) to know can a No. 2 burner fit into a No.1 Little Air pilot? This would provide a larger (7/8") wick into a lamp which came stock with a 5/8" wick.
@@EriebyCycle Thanks, I was afraid of that. Oh well I will keep looking for a cheap suitable lantern I can play/experiment with and save up to get an Embury Little Air Pilot later to use as is I am sure it is a fine little lantern. I am just beginning to see the slippery slope upon which I am standing. I love the look of the Little Air Pilot and I love the look of he the Dietz Little Wizard and the Kirkman No. 350 Little Giant (These are the same design with the Kirkman being new in production in stamped steel).. I keep seeing lanterns which I find very appealing. Oh no the danger bells are ringing in my head.
Say do you know of a way to improve the draft of a Squat globe lantern like a little Wizard to match the draft of a lantern with a taller globe (I am told the taller globes generate a better draft)? would opening the vent holes on the lantern globe plate Improve the draft (supplying more available air) of the lantern or do you need to choke the burn? Thanks.
@@EriebyCycle Thanks for your response. I have signed up at the tubular lantern group and been looking at hundreds of lamps and lanterns something for everyone there and some excellent restorations. Getting to like the patina of steel lanterns. Does anyone manufacture a semi gloss or hi gloss high heat clear heat paint to protect bare steel?
@@EriebyCycle I see you signed back at the tubular lantern group. I will see if there are any other folks there who are interested in tweaking lamps and lanterns. Appreciate your help, thanks.
