The ventilators run about 500F on the single mantled lanterns, slightly less on the 2 mantled ones. I've also found that a #91 mantle which is slightly larger runs hotter. I wondered about powdercoating, but I've been told that it is only good to something like 350 from a local coater. Something you might think of doing is to watch e-bay and pick up a ventilator. It seems that some people are parting out lanterns in the hopes that the sum of the parts are worth more than the whole critter.
This might be an idea to try and comes in a gloss, it's right at the top end of the temp range....Doug
