School me on lanterns

Since dietz sent their mfg to china, these don't look bad. Darn it! Why can't we make ANYTHING here any more

Clowns scare me, especially the ones in government.

One important thing about hurricane lanterns though, if the glass starts smoking up, turn the wick down a little. You can't run the flame too high or you get black soot on the glass.
Happy camping

Ever try fullly loaded kerosene, not the smokeless stuff? Supposedly it does a great job of getting rid of 'skeeters. Question is, does it stink the place up real bad? That's worth ruining a $4 lantern for in guess...

The citronella torch fuel doesn't stink, but you do smell the citronella. I'd say it's like a blend of citrus and flowers. I don't think it's unpleasant
