    Awesome Video! It's interesting to see the two designs compete. The Rayo is attractive because of the larger pot and better light, but the Dietz wins on overall practicality. I'm afraid I'm going to be purchasing a lantern soon and I will blame you when the wife questions me. ;)

    Ken's ultimate lantern "cook off" :D
    Well, we've discussed this before, the obvious choice of lantern for one of these cookers would be a squat globe design, a No.2 size, like a D-Lite...the closer to the flame the pot is, the better. It's kind of funny how these companies just hasn't thought of it yet.
    Always fun stuff, thanks for keeping the videos coming!

      @@Rayo_Rob_No.17 I think it’s about the same but a lot closer to the flame than the Rayo cooker and the Air pilot that I used wasn’t in very good condition anyway and was like an $8 flea market purchase so I went with it.

    Shorter globe and larger burner would be the ideal setup. Fuel choice may be something you could experiment with too😉

    Seems kinda funny to be testing emergency cooking tools on top of a modern range in a modern kitchen. Seems like it should be a far more rustic setting.

    Thanks for this video! I haven't seen the other one yet, but I will go there next.
    I recently got one of the Dietz lanterns at a decent price on Ebay. It was supposed to be complete, but was missing the ring on top to hold the pot, darn it! The seller was nice and I determined she honestly didn't know, so I just dropped the issue. Do you know if spare parts can be bought anywhere? I can't find any retailers and no one seems to be parting with the ring.
    All in all, I was relatively disappointed in the dietz. The lantern is naturally nice, but the pot and other pices,seemed cheap and chintzy. I will have to look for a Rayo, now. Thanks again!!!

    • @lotsatrains
      @lotsatrains  7 місяців тому

      I don’t know of any place to get a top ring for this unfortunately but you could probably make something up with a heavy gauge wire that would bend fairly easily and yes it isn’t that great in quality but kind of fun to use 👍

    Hi Ken. New subscriber. I modified a Dietz Jupiter 2500 into a bonafide cooker. The 12 candle power makes it a better cooker. I have used it to cook lentils, rice, eggs, flap jacks, coffee. I posted a video of it today if you care to check it out.

    • @lotsatrains

      Great job and definitely better than the new Rayo cooker lantern 👍
