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

Looks good but has some design issues that probably arose when production moved to China. The wick is offset from the center of the crown and tilted to one side. It blocked airflow to the entire side of the wick because it wouldn't go out, and the hole literally touched the crown along the entire width of the wick. I managed to get the wick down far enough to insert a large flathead screwdriver and bend the guide so the wick is away from the crown, but the wick assembly still doesn't line up with the crown slot. This misalignment doesn't seem to affect function now. Cables are cheap junk. Not a big deal on the globe, but they could use something sturdier than the equivalent of heavy gauge electric fence wire for the handle. It is enough to simply hold the handle and hook your finger on the chimney loop to lift the chimney with one finger to remove the ball to make the handle bend and lose its shape. It looks good and works great after tweaking for my issues, but 'for the money' I'll definitely try a different brand next time.
