Your channel is far underrated and unknown. You are a very helpful source of information for many who do not know anything about being able to survive if and when they turn off the infrastructure. Keep going mate and I’ll keep recommending and sharing. Regards from Chertsey Surrey.

Feuerhand translates to fire hand 😉
I believe it fits about 300 ml of oil. I need to get one, too

When outside toilets were common, when the temperature dropped below zero, people would put a Hurricane Lantern, set at a very low flame, inside the toilet, to stop the water from freezing.

I used to work in an family run hardware and DIY store, and we always stocked these hurricane paraffin oil lamps, tried and trusted always have one to hand in case of power cuts.

Yep, got four, two red, one green, and one grey, in my shed and love them, lovely light and good amount of heat from them, one full tank at half light, which is plenty, gives 20 hours running time, so roughly costing around 28 pence to run per hour to one litre of fuel which will give you just short of 2.5 tank fulls so around 50 hours per litre, hope this helps

Thank you, Funky for this. I now feel confident to light mine. We had an orange one and we don't tire of looking at it, a real design classic. And the paper bag was an added thrill

I used to live in an old cottage with an outside toilet. My father put a paraffin heater in there. One night I came downstairs, went out the back door to find black smoke bellowing from the out house? One of my siblings felt it was too cold (it was near zero) and turned the heater up. That was a close call. I do though have some Hurricane Lanterns that I fill with lamp oil. My father taught me his lessons from the past!
More modern now:- I have UCO lanterns and many candles in stock. Still I have storm lanterns and the fuel for them!
Well done Funky!

Top tip, cut the wick so it's curved. You get a cleaner burn and more light. The wick will last long too.

I've got 20 of the 276 baby lanterns they're epic!

One of my most treasured possessions is a 100 year old Art Deco paraffin lamp last used in 1973 during the oil crisis. Got my solar and food stacked. Also have two German "Dietz" lamps ready to go, often use them camping in France.

Buy cheap, buy twice!
Feuerhand all the way. I have two old ones that were gifted to me by a neighbour who was moving away.
He wanted nothing for them which amazed me as he was a tight northerner 😁
Kidding people’s 😉👍🏼
He was from up north though.
Great lanterns and great to have in your kit 😉👍🏼

Thank you, I am a pensioner looking to buy an oil lamp, was worried about Chinese lamps, this looks perfect.
carolinerayoflight
Totaly agree with buying the best gear you can afford .But with the greatest respect If I could afford to spend £35 I would buy the cheepo £9.99 chinese one and spend the rest on baked beans .Times are hard for everyone .Take care Funky ;-)
