Months ago I posted about a problem I was having with a 829 Petromax. Many of you posted & I appreciate all the help. I put the lantern to the side but I remembered one of the post that Bob added, saying he only burns Peerless mantles in all his lamps/lanterns. I finally got some Peerless 24A's and put one on. Problem solved I guess I learned not all mantles are created equal. Thanks again to all that helped.
I've also found Peerless 24A mantles excellent in Petromax 829s. They are a good size, shape very well and the fine weave contains the flame better than any other I have tried. I've posted some mantle comparison photos in another thread. http://0flo.com/index.php?threads/4329
