Dietz Old Lantern Fuel

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate fuel. The dietz old lantern fuel is exactly that - it's a simple fuel that hits all the right notes. This is the best oil lamp ever made and way better than Coleman. It’s bright, takes up little space, very affordable, holds a lot of fluid, and can be hung nicely. The Dietz fits the space between candles and flat-wick shelf-lamps. The lantern is designed to snuff itself out if it's knocked over, which is a nice safety feature.

This one has a tank size of 31 oz, which if you burn for about 4 hours a night will easily last a week or longer before needing to refill. It's very classy looking. The light out is very nice for a oil lamp. The paint isn’t very durable and rust will eventually set in if you leave them out in the rain. It is great for an emergency lantern or as an outdoor light.

• Classic lantern that performs perfectly in many applications
• Cheaply made but works well enough
• Very useful in winter power outages

Stansport Old Lantern Fuel

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another fuel that manages to win our hearts. It's the stansport old lantern fuel and it's widely considered as fuel that has the most suitable features. If you want a decorative piece that doesn't function, this is the item for you. They are impossible to remove and completely wipe out the benefits of this adorable lamp being so inexpensive. It has a fill line, covered by a sticker. The stickers are really easy to remove after you overfill it the first time because they cover up the labeled fill line (on all three lamps) and it leaks a bunch of fluid out of the sides. The lantern looks good and works fine, although it is fairly cheaply made.

The lantern isn't glass, but it's ok for an emergency lantern at the cabin.

• Great for power outages inside & out
• Cute decoration for holidays or birthday party
• Enough light to read yet not cause any problems with the air
• Works really well with little smoke

Dietz Lamp Oil

Buy on Amazon

If you often find yourself scrambling for convenient and suitable fuel, dietz lamp oil is your end point. This lantern will provide emergency lighting, but is very low quality. It only cooks odd numbers of gallons. As a lantern, it works as expected, but it has a hot plate built in atop the lantern that merits your consideration, whether you want to heat soup, water for tea, or whatever. The cooker part is easily removed and re-attached just fine. It stimulates the emotions.

This lantern is given the correct lamp oil or kerosene will provide the rated 9 candle power steadily and up to 22 candlepower with no smoke for cooking. It can use a variety of fuels and is great for storms or emergencies. This lantern works really well, it has a thick wick that is long lasting. It comes with this pretty slim.

• Good sturdy product, easy to use
• Extremely high quality lamp with good wick
• Awesome addition for any bushcrafter, camper, prepper, survivalist or penny pincher
• Pots & pans made of very thin aluminum
