Review on 🏕️ Enhance Your Outdoor Adventures with the Dietz #8 Bronze Air Pilot Oil Burning Lantern by Andrea Young

When it comes to these modern oil lamps these Dietz models are among the best. They're not as strong as the antique ones, especially when you use the lever to raise the chimney... it feels like you're about to bend/break something. But it looks great, I haven't had any issues with leaks (I think 90% of people who complain about it just fill it up) and IF YOU USE THE RIGHT FUEL it burns bright and efficiently. That's the most important thing you need to know. This lamp uses a flat, wide wick. Paraffin oil and much that is sold as "lamp oil" does not work well in this lamp as it cannot flow up the wick fast enough to burn on anything other than a very small flame. Be sure to use kerosene, Aladdin lamp oil, or Kleen Heat lamp oil. So don't waste your time and money with another type of fuel. You will be disappointed! These paraffin oils are suitable for thin/round wicks used in small table lamps but not lanterns.
