BTW - I remember the gents screen name over at the Coleman forum - Vega.
Also - I did have to add a pre-heat cup in addition to the generator. I made mine out of a 3/4" copper plumbing cap cut down in height some on the lathe. Found a piece of copper tubing that is just slightly larger in ID than the OD of the generator (1/4"?). Drilled a hole in the bottom of the cap and silver soldered them together. I swear that when the lantern is fill bore I can see that solder turn to liquid - but obviously when the lantern cools it solidifies again. Brazing would be better.
And I use methanol (as opposed to denatured or rubbing alcohol) for preheat as it is pure alcohol - it's sold as Shellac thinner or marine stove fuel in the home store - cheap.
