Comments about Coleman Two-Mantle Propane Lantern:
Yes, most people use these with the small single-use tanks, but Coleman also makes a distribution post that attaches to a bulk propane tank (like the one on your BBQ). With the post you can attach a stove with a hose, and the lantern screws onto the top, leaving an extra port for another propane-fueled device (like a heater for the camp wimps).
All kidding aside. With the refillable bulk tank and the distribution post, you have a very practicle and ecological way to light and feed your camp. A setup like this will provide light and cooking for about a week.

Comments about Coleman Two-Mantle Propane Lantern:
I got this to light my dining fly, but even hanging from the lantern hook, I thought the heat could be a problem. The lantern puts out plenty of light and is easy to get going. Amout of light and ease of use is comparable to the Coleman 288, so make your choice, pump liquid fuel or consume disposable propane cylinders.

Comments about Coleman Two-Mantle Propane Lantern:
My sis and I were cooking dinner one night, lighting our way with this Coleman lantern. The obnoxious teenager's nearby made a comment like, "jeez, i thought the sun went down hours ago." That just goes to show how bright this bad boy burns. It's great for doing any kind of camp set-up or cooking in the dark. We usually cook with one of these and our headlamps for task lighting. Works like a charm. Great for car camping. Remember to keep extra mantles on hand. They last a while, but if you do anything silly like knock over the lantern and ruin a mantle, it's always good to have back-ups!

Comments about Coleman Two-Mantle Propane Lantern:
I grew up with one of these with my dad, so the sound they make is just part of camping for me. I have several LED lights and headlamps which are great for task lighting but for bright center of the table lighting this works great. It seems like when you are in the small camping stores off the beaten path the propane tanks sometimes are easier to find than batteries, especially CR123's.
One of the mantles on first light was a little deformed so its light quality is less than the other that had proper shape. Also this thing loves to crank out the bright light but is not as good as putting out lower levels without going out.
My only regret would be that we didn't get the Insta-Start for a couple extra bucks for those damp mornings. Although Bic lighters are pretty cheap and you are likely to have some means of fire with you anyway.
