I have TC-28 and I like it. I built a compact cook kit with it , Snow Peak Trek 700 Ti pot, Keith insulated mug , BRS 3000 stove and SS ring windshield. All can put in the TI pot. I once boiled water for instant coffee and cooked ramen with SP pot.
I absolutely love this video, amazing review on the lantern. I've seen this same lantern on Amazon some time ago but this is the third video I've seen on this particular item, couple other of the people that I've seen that have this exact same lantern are some guys that are very big into the prepper scene and reason why they liked it so much is because of the fact that it's meant to be referable. That's also why I enjoy this item I can't wait to get my own because I like to build as many minimalist item kits as possible to really see what thing or items will work best for you in any given situation. Amazing video once again. Much love and respect from the states!
Excellent take. I just got something very similar and I am delighted with it. But you are bang-on with your weight assessment: its a trade off between weight and compactness. Those little 100g butane cannisters are a real sweet spot for all round weight efficiency. They are not "officially" refillable and come with safety issues if you do, but half filling them with butane is an acceptable risk by my reckoning. This said, in a power outage, if you are vehicle camping, or you just want compactness at the expense of extra weight, I can see the use case. I can also see how handy this might be on winter camps in northern locations, where an extra light source might come in handy when you spending more time in the tent, freezing cold in the dark. Have to say though, if your cooking only involves quick boiling and rehydrating foods, 100g of butane or isobutane is going to last you far longer than people realise. If you avoid taking foods that require "boiling for 30 minutes" then frankly 100g is going to cover your whole trip unless you are on some expedition.
Mark your reviews are very thorough and great to watch. I used to camp off a motorcycle since 1977 and still have and use my trusty brass candle lantern. Gas is for cooking, cute but Ill stick to my candles. Actually still use my lantern on a quick weekend hike. Old school I guess.
I agree Jim. I might take it car camping but I do have better illumination lights. I might take in backpacking to use like a ECO candle lantern but I don't think I would use the included gas canister if I am carrying another gas stove with canister. Thanks for commenting
Thank you for the honest review. To me, this would make a really nice gift and it comes in a great box. It is cute and has some practical applications but perhaps only in settings that are not rugged and don't require a long burn time.
Saw a product like this and thought the caniste would be useful for dayhikers to bring along, instead of a normal canister, but being heavier almost completely nullifies it's number of possible applications. Spot on review Mark! ps: I've seen Lonewolf heat up a hot tent with a lantern, so maybe there's something to it in that regard.
You have a point, but in an emergency situation the last thing you should be worried about is a random fine by park rangers. I carry two or three fire starting methods, and If I were to find myself in a desperate situation I would without a doubt make campfires to warm up, boil water and cook. though a lack of food is generally one of the least important things as most people have enough body fat to hike dozens of miles without eating. Water and temperature are far more important and cause most outdoor fatalities through hipothermia and dehidration.@@AirWaves77777
This kind of small canister would only be useful on dayhikes and such, where you wouldnt get far away anyways, so food is not a big concern. In fact for dayhikes i often leave all cookware behind and just bring premade meals.@@AirWaves77777
I believe that you purchase this for the "cool factor." My beautiful daughter would love to pull this off her shelf if the power went out. If she had friends visiting, the wow factor would have the group smiling. In the Philippines and likely most of the world, many small lamps similar to this are available. They are intended to mate to the larger flat-type canister you demonstrated, or with a different adapter, disposable butane canisters. We think having a few of this type of lamp in stock is a good idea since we have many assorted canisters of butane and isobutane fuel.
G'day Mark, thought that logo looked familiar, just happen to have a Lumintop in pocket. Must say, I dont like the idea of carrying glass in a pack, ..... backyard or car camping, sure. Incidentally the Fenix CL30R lantern has a tripod thread too and I use it that way often, a fantastic feature to have on any lantern IMO. I'm now think'n about a way to achieve the same with a regular canister, perhaps an old tin or plastic bottle cut down. Cheers Duke.
Hi Duke. Definitely not for everyone. I see this as similar to a UCO candle lantern which also has a glass globe. Not really to be used for lighting as much as comfort. The question is the weight worth it. Thanks for commenting
We use two of them since we do not like the air quality issues caused by candles. The tank is nice as a backpack canister as a 35 g capacity thank. The TC-35 is a nice 110g capacity tank that is much safer to refill than the disposable tanks.
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Thank you. I have one pf those and we used it to power three stoves. We used propane and a high pressure regulator to reduce the propane pressure to butane levels. Your videos are inspiring.
I like the looks of the lamp. If they made the same looking lamp as an oil lamp, I think that would be nice. Using the canister as a mini stove for a day hike, would be cool, but I find it so easy to use my Sterno stove setup, so I wouldn’t find a reason to buy it for that purpose. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
I hope they designed that canister so that it is properly reinforced to allow for multiple refills safely. I also hope they rated it for number of refills due to metal fatigue. I see they also offer a butane canister adapter, which is nice. One discrepancy I noticed is you say can take up to 35 grams of fuel while the website says the maximum capacity is 15 grams, though I could not find a manual on their site to verify. That and the glass chimney is different between the website and yours. I like the design of the lantern, but I don't think I would want the refillable canister. At least that refill adapter has a bleed valve to get the oxygen/air out. Cheers for the video!
I missed making that point in the video. The website does say 15grams and the manual shows 35grams. I went with 35grams as the size and weight of the canister appeared to justify it. I would not think a 15gram tank would be of much value. Thanks for commenting
Butane is just 30psi~. it is pretty hard to make a canister to cheap it cannot handle it. all the little plastic lighters are using this gas. you can smash it on the ground and step on them with no problem.
I think the Firemaple lantern is more useful. The fuel canister would never get used, and although the wooden box is nice I think the compact case the Firemaple is stored in is more practical if you are taking it into the woods.
I think this type of product is uesful to burn off residual fuel in standard cannisters. However, UCO CANDLE lights do same job without any extra parts or fuel exchange risks. Whichever way you go fuel provided by others is expensive plus Taxes. As a hiking teenager we had no torches but learned to camp. Pitch tent, made bed two hours before sunset. Then cook on and in a wood fire. Your eyes naturally adjust to the available light. Too dark? Then its time for bed after a hot drink and flour dough wrapped around a stick cooked then with some melted butter and a sploge of jam. All prepped in embers of the fire. WITH NO TAX or somone elses profit to spoil it all
@@MarkYoungBushcraft One of my fellow Scout leaders found metal mantles in Europe that fir his, but the website on the package does not work and we have not been able to find them.
Normally cartridges are never filled past something like 75% I think is the number I remember. Definitely not much light is coming off this. Basically, we want for efficiency, a blue flame for cooking, but this flame isn't going to add much light, so the flame is less efficient in burning will actually put off more pollutants, but it will give more light. Yes, a mantle would be the way to get many times more light, but it would have to have a bigger glass globe too I'd suspect, as the mantle would be MUCH hotter closer to the glass. Yes, normal mantles break easily as they are basically the "ash" of the silk mantle that is put on. Perhaps a small screen, that is coated with platinum, would work well, (the platinum would act as a catalyst to make sure the flame was on the surface of the mesh) but it would probably cost so much (even a coating) that it wouldn't be practical.) Catalytic devices could do a lot more than they have done, but with battery technology increasing so fast, putting out light is not an area that can compete anymore with electrical devices. (I've worked on catalytic devices for a decade, but they really work wonderfully when you want heat, not light)
soto makes a lantern with a platinum "mantle" but it's really expensive, about $150usd. it was sold with the brunton name for several years, i have one and have mixed feelings about it.... it produces more light than a simple flame, but the light is very orange, not even slightly white like a typical fabric mantle produces. it's also tricky to light, it has a fuel valve and an air valve and you have to fiddle with both of them to get it lit, then keep it lit, then get it to burn at maximum brightness.
Someone should make a Coleman mantle adapter. You could get many many times the light output. The fragile nature of the mantle would have to be seriously addressed.
I have a small mantle lamp I picked up at Value Village and a large propane lamp I use for car camping. Much brighter for sure but I carry extra mantles as they doo break fairly easily. Thanks for commenting Jim
The tripod mount would allow an "octopus" type twistable 'pod to put the lamp,damn near anywhere - a pole, tree limb or sapling, anything.... you could easily make a tin-can reflecter, to use it in the home, as an emergency lamp, or mood lighting.....hmmm, will it work with propane, or must you use butane?
I did not run the lamp until it ran out but based on the fuel consumption as I measured it, it should last approximately 8 hours. However, the company says 4.5 hours. Hope this helps
Using the camping gas cartridges as a gas source is vey expensive. Better to get the MSF-1A type bottles and a little adapter of Amazon. Make sure you weight the cartridge when you first get it to avoid over filling them. I use the MSF-1A bottles to refill the camping gas bottles. Overfilled my first one so the canister developed a massive bulge. It was not safe to use afterwards. Refilling is easy if you put the receiving cartridge in the freezer for 30 minutes.
i also use the "paint can" looking butane canister. they are very cheap and contain alot of fuel. i refill all my lighters and camping cartridge with them.
Hi Mark I have a question following this video , could the refillable gas canister be used as a one cup brew stove for weight weenies like myself if so this could really be a useful replacement for an alcohol burner.
it certainly can be used in place of larger canisters; however, I am not sure the weight is worth it if you are counting grams. I discuss this toward the end of the video and have weights in the description. Hope this helps

Filling regular butane canisters with propane is not recommended do the increase in pressure. This is a more heavily built canister but I personably would not fill it with propane. Thanks for commenting
I see they are now selling The Year of the Tiger. I received The Year of the Rabbit about a month ago. I didn't get the refill adapter or the tripod. I was hoping you would demo refilling the canister. I noticed the Fire Maple one comes with a cleaning tool which Camping Moon did not have. I would like to know how to clean out any clogs should I need to ever do that. Where do I find the tripod for this and the refill adapter?
I found the tripod here www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005091734504.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.31.21ef180271bT7z A look for butane refill adapter will reveal a lot of links. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005091734504.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.31.21ef180271bT7z
it is meant for luxury car camping. have a look into Japanese camping style. you basically fill your car to the brim and make yourself a luxury camp spot. those lantern are used to make a old style ambience like oil lantern.
@@MarkYoungBushcraft it is not air it is butane/mix gas. when you are filling it you are wanting to fill liquid butane back into the canister. the problem is that the hole between the two cartridge is extremely small (like 1mm). the pressure between the two cartridge is the exact same because they are both filled with the same gas and at the same temperature. so the liquid doesnt want to flow inside the lower canister because the vapour pressure of the liquid/gas is the same. it is like holding a water bottle with a very small hole up-side down. the water will not flow. in order to fill your can you are pressing the button or causing a change by other means, it cause a sudden drop of pressure inside and force the upper cartridge (that contain liquid butane/mix) to boil due to the drop of pressure. because of this there is a disturbance inside and it helps the liquid from the top can to rush into the bottom one. since the one at the bottom has the gas on top, and the top canister the liquid at the bottom you are filling the lower cartridge with liquid butane/mix. some systems like propane fill station use a different system to fill faster. for example having a special path inside the nozzle that allow a gaseous exchange between the canister and the filling station or even a pump to force the liquid fuel into the tank. they mostly use a return path for the gas to flow and allow the liquid to come in. you must understand, the liquid is just condensed fuel gas. the pressure is always the same with most gases like this. even thought the liquid fuel level is changing the pressure is the same. the liquid phase is just changing into gas phase to replace the dropping level of gas. *each gas have its own pressure* it is mostly constant and only varies with temperature. it is called "vapour pressure". butane for example is around 30psi @ 20c. propane on the other hand is 130psi. this is why you should *NEVER FILL PROPANE into a butane system*
I wonder why. I just checked the Amazon link that was supplied to me and it shows a different lamp I don't see how to buy directly from Campingmoon. Hopefully they will answer this post. Thanks for commenting

there is no "air" inside the cans.
..... i am speechless
No air? The empty cartridge has air in it that has to be displaced to allow a full fill of butane. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft it is not air it is butane/mix gas.
when you are filling it you are wanting to fill liquid butane back into the canister. the problem is that the hole between the two cartridge is extremely small (like 1mm). the pressure between the two cartridge is the exact same because they are both filled with the same gas and at the same temperature. so the liquid doesnt want to flow inside the lower canister because the vapour pressure of the liquid/gas is the same. it is like holding a water bottle with a very small hole up-side down. the water will not flow.
in order to fill your can you are pressing the button or causing a change by other means, it cause a sudden drop of pressure inside and force the upper cartridge (that contain liquid butane/mix) to boil due to the drop of pressure. because of this there is a disturbance inside and it helps the liquid from the top can to rush into the bottom one. since the one at the bottom has the gas on top, and the top canister the liquid at the bottom you are filling the lower cartridge with liquid butane/mix.
some systems like propane fill station use a different system to fill faster. for example having a special path inside the nozzle that allow a gaseous exchange between the canister and the filling station or even a pump to force the liquid fuel into the tank. they mostly use a return path for the gas to flow and allow the liquid to come in.
you must understand, the liquid is just condensed fuel gas. the pressure is always the same with most gases like this. even thought the liquid fuel level is changing the pressure is the same. the liquid phase is just changing into gas phase to replace the dropping level of gas. *each gas have its own pressure* it is mostly constant and only varies with temperature. it is called "vapour pressure". butane for example is around 30psi @ 20c. propane on the other hand is 130psi. this is why you should *NEVER FILL PROPANE into a butane system*
@@Francois_Dupont wow, much more in-depth than my limited knowledge was. I say was because now I know more. Thanks for this
@@MarkYoungBushcraft no problem, happy refilling!
I have to weigh it to use it?
Hard pass.

I been trying to buy it many months ago but always show me a Not available item :/
I wonder why. I just checked the Amazon link that was supplied to me and it shows a different lamp I don't see how to buy directly from Campingmoon. Hopefully they will answer this post. Thanks for commenting
