Ok so I was out all weekend got home today now here is my question I have a Coleman propane lantern and a ozark trail propane lantern. The coleman is for sure brighter than the ozark. Now my friend buys a Cabela's brand lantern and the first thing I noticed was how big the mantels are, we joked cause it looked funny then it got dark and when he lit his up it was brighter than mine with his on half and mine on full. So my question is. Is it the size of the Mantels? or is his just putting off more propane? Also if it is the mantels can I use the cabela's brand on my 2 or does coleman make a bigger mantel?

I've been stocking up on the spare mantles that WallyMart carries, never noticed if different lanterns have different sizes. :confused:
Have to check my big Coleman Dual Fuel lantern and my small propane single-mantle "Hilary" model.
And yeah, RDF has an odd sense of humor, but he's good people!Longtime Motorcycle Camper. Getting away from it all on two wheels! :cool:

It'll pay dividends too to really fill everyone in on your research. Thanks fer not paying heed to my wise-cracks! Cause I ain't real sure on Coleman. The mod thing...I'm a doin it fer free not a dime to be made. Jest a love fer climbin a mountain and sticken my face in the dirt and a sleepin bag at night! No offense meant!
