Huffing thorium is never a good idea, so it should be kept in small doses, wither running a lantern or tig welding

Let us not feed that troll.

Are you using carbons or alkalines?
I think they will also run on rechargable batteries, so you can use a solar charger. I've got some "anysizers" so I can use AA cells, and bulk them out to D cell size.
The heavy metals in mantles actually make up the mantle. The silk or rayon is simply a carrier to support the metals. When first lit, the silk or rayon burns away, leaving the metals in the familar shape, somewhat fused together. They are what actually provide the light as they are heated up by the gas vapor fire.

I've found alkalines last four times longer than carbons.
Many thanks! And thanks for the articles. Very interesting

I normally buy alkalines, although I'm converting to the Eneloop batteries for most applications. Haven't tried them in the lanterns yet. We've had the lanterns on all night for a couple nights and they still had plenty of juice left. I was surprised because the old type really sucked.
I don't agree with the religion but the few Mormons I have dealt with have been good people. Steven Covey is way into Mormonism and his Seven Habits philosophy is said to be a generic application of Mormon principles. The origins of the religion may be whacked, but they came up with something that seems to work.
The dark side is well hidden.

What about those platinum mantles? Were you serious or just speculating? Because it got me thinking that maybe a tungsten mesh might work just as well for a lot less dinero.......

As long as kill the infidel isn't part of their lexicon, I'm cool with almost all religions based on responsible values. (Not a hit at Muslims btw)

Ammo and components are getting expensive. Got to economize somewhere.
Collectors of Curio and Relic arms are huge consumers of Ramen noodles. Not bad with a teaspoon of butter and a can of Save-a-Lot sweet peas btw.

Too late Wes. They're using Yterrium now because of the Thorium radioactivity.

I had a little problem clearing a path to my ice house this year:-)...
Only if they work - and the plastic head Kidde's don't always.
Coleman used to sell little plastic storage cups that snapped onto the bottom of the lantern tank. Probably can still be found.
Just the right size to hold a spare generator and wrench, several mantles, and a book or two of matches if the sparker failed - And those essentials were always with the lantern they fit.
I have a few for mine, and a couple of the blow-molded plastic carry cases that cover the whole lantern so they don't get broken.
Do need to check out a few real antiques I've got that need pump cups and globes - the ones with the words COLEMAN punched in the little grille ring between the fuel tank and the mantle chamber.

Of all, The God Makers is the best book because it chronicles all the revisions of the books of the church and how they have changed over the years, chronicled the history (actual versus written of the participants) and in general gives information that is backed up with cited research and source. But only for those very interested enough to sift through all that mountain of information. It only opens more doors.
As to being a Christian, just as being a lifelong registered Libertarian, I am what I am.

It is a workable social system, and I respect that. If more people lived like a lot of Mormons do, this world would improve in about fifteen minutes. I just have issues with the religion itself.

I don't know - his boss was likely on the edge of life with the storm and so many problems.
A major cost and loss of time on the machine until fixed was a sore spot.
