PS--I own 3 Colemans for exactly the reason you mention. I just went through a hurricane here in TX and was w/o electricity for over a week. My Dietz lanterns, my Coleman lanterns, and my Coleman single cookstoves were so great to have.

@RavenwoodAcres 2 года назад

They are definitely used in an emergency.

rust in the fonte is not a "reason to walk away" it takes decades to have a rust through problem, and i mean 5 or 6 decades. a cap off is actually a better state to find it as hard moister and fuel gum up won't happen as it will evaporate in the first few months.

@RavenwoodAcres 5 лет назад

Agreed, however, if I have options I not going to buy ones that have issues unless they are rare lanterns. Heck I have been to garages sales that have had whole collections at them; therefore, I could be picky. Thanks for watching.

@askikr79 3 года назад

Just a clarification for the safety nuts. You can burn this inside. You can light this right next to that can of camp fuel as long as there arent fumes. The lantern is fuel of camp fuel you safety freaks.

@RavenwoodAcres 3 года назад

Agreed!

@crabtrap 2 года назад

actually the fuel in tank is worse! its pressurized! but freaks be freaks!

@totallyfrozen 2 года назад

Most of the anxiety ridden safety nuts have little to no actual experience with these lanterns.

@loveisall5520 2 года назад

I love my 288...more compact.

@RavenwoodAcres 2 года назад

This is my first 228 and I am fan.

@98katman 8 лет назад

Don't use a lantern or any other heat/spark producing item close to a gallon can of fuel!It could result in shall we say a life changing experience!

@RavenwoodAcres 8 лет назад

+98katman Thanks for the safety warning.

And dont burn this in a enclosed are it makes CO2 posioning

@totallyfrozen 2 года назад

@@fandechavalones3022 You’re thinking of CO (carbon monoxide) poisoning, and you’re wrong. The mantels act as a catalytic burner and afford complete combustion of the fuel. Of course, the lantern needs a constant supply of fresh air, though. I burned my Coleman lantern inside of enclosed car with me and set a CO detector on the dashboard. It never rose above 0ppm. If you crack a car window open just a 1/4” to 1/2”, you should never have to worry about it. Still, always use a CO detector when burning hydrocarbons. For historical reference, these lanterns were originally made for INDOOR lighting. The newer models are even safer than the original models. Mantel lanterns, pressure lanterns (like this one), kerosene heaters and stove…they were all made to be used indoors.

i just got 4 288 lanterns the other day for $1.00 each now i got 9 lanterns and 4 stoves . now i just got to figure out what im gonna do? also take the rubber pums and soak them in dot 3 brake fluid. it makes them swell up and work mabye not perfect but in a pinch it works great then use 30 weight motor oil on the cup just a tip

@Thevinylking69 8 лет назад

Nice IMCO lighter

@thepennsylvanian9280 6 лет назад

Can I use kerosene in this lantern?

@crabtrap 5 лет назад

no, not with out a conversion. but its easy to do.

@totallyfrozen 2 года назад

Coleman sells kerosene lantern parts to convert. Namely, a preheat cup and a kerosene generator.

Looking for the eccentric bloc, the lantern I bought had no heat shield and the plastic rod melted

@RavenwoodAcres 2 года назад

Have you searched oldcolemanparts.com?

@sidneywhite749 2 года назад

@@RavenwoodAcres yes, unfortunately they do not have it. Thank you.

@RavenwoodAcres 2 года назад

@@sidneywhite749 I checked several websites and the all say out of stock or discontinued. What a bummer. Maybe you could find one used on eBay or Craigslist. www.ereplacementparts.com/eccentric-block-p-1003318.html

My 288 has no heat shield, some do some don’t? Can’t find the heat shield either.
