My Dad purchased an aladdin oil lamp some years back and we decided to fire it up the other day.

All I can say is WOW, that thing is BRIGHT!! Compared to a regular wick-burning oil lamp, the Aladdin seems 10x brighter with its mantle glowing.

Anyone know where to get a good deal on the Aladdin lamps. I'd like to get a few for backup lighting.

On another note. Dont ever buy "Pure Parriffin Oil" from the store. We bought two 100 oz jugs of the stuff for 22 bucks apeiece then did some research online to find that its basically K-1 kerosene and doesn't burn nearly as well as some other fuel sources.

Klean-heat is the only way to travel...
