Reader Feedback: Yabadabadoo! Read it from cover to cover upon receipt. Great info, perspective, and writing style. - Brian Swift
Coleman Gas Lanterns is Book 5 of our Non-Electric Lighting Series. At this point, we’ve gone through candles and olive oil lamps and kerosene wick-type lamps and we’ve arrived at Book 5 - Coleman Gas Lanterns. Translation: It’s time to hop off the porch and hitch up your big-boy pants.

Reader Feedback: If you collect or use semi-vintage Coleman lanterns you want this book. So much of the information was new to me even after 40 years of using them. The information on fuels other than Coleman-brand naphtha (white gas) is worth many times the price. - Reasonable Rascal

Coleman Gas Lanterns contains 11,500 words, 67 B&W illustrations, and is 70 pages long. It’s available in Kindle eBook format as well as paper.

Reader Feedback: A very good, informative book … I’m glad I bought it. - Todd Benson

Pressure lanterns, though not as convenient as throwing a wall switch, will produce light on par with electric.

Do you know the difference between Coleman Quick-Lite and Coleman Instant-Lite? You probably should if you’re into prepping. It’s nice to speak the language. It’s nice to go to a flea market and know what you’re looking at.

Do the newer Coleman Dual Fuel lanterns really burn automobile gas like the ads say? This book has some first-hand test results. Plus recommendations about what to buy and what to avoid.

And this book has an excellent section on carbon monoxide. YouTube has both good info and bad on carbon monoxide. But do you know which is which? Wouldn’t it be nice to REALLY understand it? Well, the opportunity is at hand.
