Justin, that rust bucket coleman profane lantern was driving me batty, so I fettled with it a bit. It's yours (post 227) so I'll leave it with Thein when I visit on the 6th.

Did you get your 275 ****?

What, and fake the box too? I don't get it, though. Looks like a nice Coleman with a defective paint job, how'd that thing slip past QC out of Wichita like that??

Nothin' to square Justin, it needs some parts (canister door/slide and a globe), put the $ towards that.

Missy allowed me to put (her) lantern in a place of honor! Miracles never cease.

At the cub scout camp out this weekend I was very sad to learn Coleman fuel (or any non-profane) stoves are NOT allowed. Really could have used my 3 burner to keep up with feeding 100 hungry folks pancakes, eggs, bacon!!!

Nothing, but it's un-American IMO. Likely someone untrained got hurt using a GPA.

what a bunch of bull! it boggles my mind how someone can hurt themselves or cause damage with a GPA...... its not easy to screw up!

in my personal opinion a propane can at im guessing 50 to 120psi? is not any safer.... i dont know..... i think ill just sit here and shake my head a few times....
