No I can't say as I do, perhaps it was when I was busy pulling an axe out of my leg Laughing


Was that the one you were competing against the laser light show just down the road?

I use the Coleman dual fuel with 2 mantles, it's awesome! Tons of light which can be adjusted and also gives out a fair bit of heat, down sides are the glass needs extra care when transporting and unfortunate for the swmbo attracts the flying night life like moths Very Happy

Vapalux lamps are brilliant!

Can't vouch for this but £62 all in:

What do you run them on? Will Coleman fuel do the trick?

what about aspen4 fuel, it smells the same as coleman fuel, available from lawnmower centres and is 1/4 of the price, 5 litres for £15.99

Our coleman lanterns and cookers run a treat on the stuff ... even in the cold.

I use unleaded in my Coleman stuff and no problems so far Thumbs Up

Is it still easy to get paraffin ? I seem to remember it being delivered when I was a kid, and also there was a pump at the petrol station. I wouldn't know where to look for it nowadays (obviously still out there though).

I have one local garage that sells it 'pre-packed' in 4 litre and 25 litre containers.

I have a couple of Vapalux lanterns (as we used them in the Army, and they were also made in Halifax until such time as the whole factory was sold to Korea - where they are still made). They are great, run on parafin and pretty robust too.

Proper camping sitting listening to them hiss gently...... Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....
