Thanks for the video. Good job replacing mantles outdoors and standing up wind of the procedure. FYI, Whether the mantles are made with thorium or yytrium, you do not want to be breathing that dust. They both can cause heavy lung damage. When tying on new mantles, put the flat side towards the generator. The Peerless brand of mantles could either be thorium or yytrium, they are marked with a T or a Y on the packaging. After the lantern has cooled down, and you are putting it away for a while, spray the mantles with hairspray to help keep them from falling apart in transport and storage. It will burn off the next time you use it. If you use regular old E10 gasoline, be sure to drain the ethanol/gasoline after every trip, the ethanol can cause major damage while in storage. If you use ethanol free fuel it'll last a little while longer, but the coleman white gas is the safest and will last the longest in storage.
I’ve always had them shrink smaller than normal when they aren’t burned properly before starting the lantern. Having 35 lanterns I need cheap mantles. I save the heavy duty Coleman mantles and peerless for my camping lanterns.
Those old mantles set off my Geiger counter pretty good. I think the thing to remember is, not to breath the dust from the old burned out mantles. (If you had any in a old lantern or old stock) Thumbs up !
Come on... Don't be such a snowflake. They've been used for 100 years through decades where they were used much more than today. No one has even been harmed.
@@dontblameme6328 Who are you calling Snowflake Dickhead? and if you think breathing the dust from the thorium mantles is okay, it shows your lack of knowledge on the topic. Don't you think it's kind of strange that they don't make them anymore with thorium on them. Have a good day
I have a buddy that just puts them on, puts the globe on and lights it like normal. Gives off a big poof and then kinda looks like a fireball for a minute or two, then settles down. He's been doing that for the 30+ years I've been going camping with him.....I still do it the right way though.
I have a question, I have never operated a gas lantern, but purchased an old Colman lantern. I purchased kerosene, but noticed that you used gasoline. I honestly don’t know and this is the first video that I have watched, but can I use kerosene, diesel, and I guess it’s okay to use gasoline. Can I mix the fuels? I have diesel stored in semi trucks and would like to use that fuel for emergencies. I also want to buy a Colman camp stove, and wondered if I can use multi fuels there. I am subscribing.
I just got my first lantern used. Seems to work. Waiting for replacement globe broken in transport. Been wondering for years why some people burn the mantles with fuel on. I've also seen people puff out the mantles evenly with a finger before installing, Work them with 4 evenly spaced loose folds, and just slop them on with no arranging. With fuel, or sloppy seems to work worst as the mantles break while burning. Puffed out seems to have irregular hot, and cold spots. Too far from the flame I suppose. Loose folds have evenly spaced hot, and cold. Maybe some intermediate not too puffed, and very loose folds. Been wondering what leaving the old mantles on or putting the old pieces in the new bag would do for performance.
MIGHT NEED TO JUST ADD A COUPLE OF DROPS OF OIL TO THE PUMP OR SIMPLY REPLACE IT IF IT'S GETTING OLD. COLEMAN SELLS NEW ONES BUT THEY DO NEED TO BE OILED OCCASIONALLY.
Death from radio active mantles is true it got the best of grandad and he only made it to 92. Just think how much longer he would have lived if he never messed with those things.
Light a fire, create some carbon, and you have some radioactive material. That is how you can carbon date materials from charcoal. There are a lot of differences in radioactive materials and which ones will kill you with an exposure…none of these exposures are going to kill anyone.
Hey chief, obligatory safety goober here: you might consider putting your containers on the ground when you fill them with gasoline. People look better with eyebrows. Just my $0.02 Cheers!

Was just gifted a Dual fuel Powerhouse, getting ready to clean it inside and out been sitting awhile. Looking forward to using it.
Thank you for showing the mantles being lit without the globe!

They do make them with thorium just not in the usa
I just bought peerless mantles they are still coated with thorium

I tried this method with my propane lantern. Burned one mantle to a cinder

How long does it work until you pump it again? Mine doesn't last long.

You have a leak somewhere.

I always put fuel to the mantles before lightning when new. Always works.
SEEMS PRETTY LAME TO DO IT LIKE THAT SINCE YOU'RE ALREADY PARTIALLY BURNING THEM. COULD BE DANGEROUS TOO.
Looks like your caps lock key is stuck, you can Google for how to unstick keys
@@steamfire GOOGLING IT NOW, THANKS DUDE.
I have never "Burned them in" I replace them turn the gas on and light them..never had a problem..
I’ve always just lit them without the pre-burn. No issues

Never heard of a 298
I need the shield
If you are putting pump gas . Try to get ethanol free.
It doesn't matter if you use them and keep it fresh.
You know they're radioactive right?
Snowflake alert.
