Kerosene
lanterns are among the least popular on the market. One of the big
reasons is because of the lantern kerosene.
Lantern kerosene is used less and less because it is sometimes smoky
and is known to have a pretty strong smell.
That’s not to say that it is a bad option. Some people still
use lantern kerosene more than any other fuel. Kerosene is economical
to use, readily accessible, and dependable. One of the main advantages
is the fact that it is available for a low cost.
One of the things that makes lantern kerosene a little more difficult
and time-consuming to use is the fact that these lanterns require
priming with a preheat fuel.
Kerosene is a good, efficient fuel but lantern kerosene can be difficult
to use as a fuel.
