    Default Lantern suggestions

    I have an old (1950's) Dietz Comet that I love. I would like to get a few more lanterns. Does anyone have any recommendations?

    I see the new Dietz lanterns are dirt cheap and made in China. Are they worth trying?

    How about fuels other than kerosene? What are the pros and cons of the other fuels?

    I like the Coleman dual fuels just because they are dual fuels. I'm not sure if your looking for regular camping or backpacking though.

    I like the tri fuels myself because that's what my mini stove is so I've already got it packed anyway. The fewer fuels and crap I have to pack the better.

    The snow peak giga fuel is about the best dual I've used.

    MMMMM I see that under 25 degrees it's iffy ? I do a lot of winter camping and that would be a big minus.
