Hi. Yes, standard paraffin. I’ve swilled the tank out several times, filtered the fuel going in, and the swills coming out (I’ve collected quite a...
. Yes, I’ve had plenty of flamethrowers! Once it gets warmed up and going, it’s fine, but getting to that point is very difficult!
Ah, I did wonder if there was another valve I should be cleaning.
Hi. Just wanted to thank you all for your helpful advice. I managed to get the tank pipe nut off, cleaned, and tightened. I’ve cleaned the jet...
Hmmm. I see what you mean about the downward flame. Could that be leaking fuel burning off due to a drippy jet? I’ve established that it was...
It has (or should have!) all the hoppiness of a light beer, but made with dark malts to give it colour and character.
Thank you. It’s clear I have some disassembling to do! I’m going to try and strip it down today (in between brewing a black IPA) and I’ll see how...
Holy moly! That’s the kind of flame I’m after! This is what I currently have; [MEDIA] I haven’t tried immersing the tank in water yet, but I...
Hi all. I’ve just acquired one of these beauties, and although I got it to light pretty much “out of the box” I’m not getting the lovely blue jet...
It was after I’d had the lantern hanging from the ceiling in my shed that I noticed how hot the handle got. I lifted it down from hook and thought...
Sure - I’ll try to get some pictures on here!
That’s good to know! I thought that if I kept moving the heat buildup wouldn’t be such a problem, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Well, one way to find out for sure! The woods beckon…….
Ah, yes a heat shield might be something I could rig up!
Is it possible to get longer handles for certain lamps? I have an Anchor 909 and quite fancy the idea of carrying it through the woods on a night...

Thanks for the tip - I’ve just fitted and tried a Coleman 11 and it’s excellent. A much bigger mantle, and a lovely bright burn.
Thanks - will look for a number 11 mantle, or get those Petromax ones.
That’s intriguing. I wanted to ask about mantles anyway, as the Anchor ones I bought for the lamp seem to work well but shrink to a teeny tiny...
I bought a bunch of Anchor mantles off EBay, and they seem to work pretty well in my 909. However, they shrink down to a teeny tiny size in use!...
