The 8 Best Lighting A Propane Lanterns (2023 reviews)

This lantern is just like the big boys, very bright but compact. It uses the dual fuel. It lights up on the dime with a piezo, very well calibrated flame adjustment which enables a super bright or very low light. If you plan to use it as a tabletop lantern then the chain will just get in the way and will make it more like to snag and tip the lantern.

The lantern is designed to work with iso-propane canisters that are shorter and wider which make it stable when placed on a flat surface. It's hot enough to etch and soften glass. It comes with an adapter for that style of canister. The lantern will get pretty hot while being used, hot enough to burn you or melt nylon if touched.

Goes with the rocket stove very well
Magnificent lantern that perches nicely on an 8 oz butane canister
Excellent for a source of heat and light

Best With Case: Fire-Maple Lighting A Propane Lantern

The fire-maple lighting a propane lantern should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. For backpack-campers this represents extra weight, a luxury item that is a bit fragile, and that 'wastes' fuel. It is small in fuel consumption, only about 4g/h;easy to carry, mini size, ultralight and portable. It will 'run out' during the backpacking or camping trip. It is great for camping and as a gift for your friends who like the outdoors.

This lantern can compare this with sap candle light. It is easy to ignite, no need for light yarn, and easy to use. It's like a large candle flame without the smoke. This isn't romantic, but does a useful job, either sipping fuel or helping to completely empty a low IsoPro canister.

Best For ultralight Camping: Eoocvt Lighting A Propane Lantern

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate lantern. The eoocvt lighting a propane lantern is exactly that - it's a simple lantern that hits all the right notes. These small lanterns are very compact and work well. The Thorium mantles put out more light, don't shrink down to nothing when pre-burned and hold up to some rough treatment in the pack. The wind screen is steal with holes so you don't have to worry about breaking glass but the mantel is still a typical ceramic mesh so that is going to break if you drop it anyway.

This is really a plus for the national parks that do not allow campfires, as it gives some ambient light to the camp ground. The gas valve is of good quality construction and seals closed tightly with no leaks. The clasp which holds the top and metal globe on will have to be tweaked to fit snuggly. It is very light weight and makes very well.

Why We Like This:

Small & compact / puts out good heat & light
Easy to use and the out put of light is solid
Comes with 2 decent mantels and works with coleman ones

Best For Old Lanterns: Coleman Lighting A Propane Lantern

Buy on Amazon

Compared with other lantern in this category, the coleman lighting a propane lantern has a convenient design. It's a classic Kerosene lantern and in the world of LED camping lights, it is a nice addition to your campsite. It is coated on the interior to hold up to repeated use, and a "porcelain-ized" ventilator resists rust. It burns clean with no Kerosene smell. It is so much more economical than using battery lanterns or even using gasoline fueled lanterns.

This is very simple, once you are set up for it, but it does add a requirement and the necessity to carry the small alcohol squirt bottle they provide to prime fill the pre-burn cup. You can light the lantern with a quick match strike and dial in the desired brightness level with the adjustable dimmer knob.
