Junked them? Both? Is that like when the generals of the armies have so many troops that they stop seeing them as individuals and start thinking that they are expendable?
Sorry, not a very funny attempt at humor.
But seriously, she ran great all last night.
I have been using a sliver of wood as a long match, light that first then stick it right between the two mantles up close to the genie and she seems to start easier.
(My other lantern, the Turd, gave quite a large pop and big fire ball when lit it after a refueling, but I think I may have pumped it up a bit extra that time ... pump seemed a little loose/dry to me so I gave that one a couple of drops of oil and worked the pump around a bit... guess I should use the long match for this one, too.)
Thanks for the advice on the packing and fuel pickup. One of these days I'll strip her back down again and do a better job cleaning and/or replacing parts.
