(More customer reviews)$6.60 to ship a 4 dollar mantle?
OK - positives - the single mantle and new northstar electric start lanterns are like having a lamp around and work great - light output is aboiut 100w or more on high, and they can be turned way down low for a night light.
The mantle leaves something to be desired.First time I "clipped" mine on everything was fine - ready to do the burnoff.Ash was fine after the burnoff.Time to light up.Light went fine until the tie clips got red hot and thats when problems started.There's something called the coefficient of thermal expansion.Take the heat into consideration and pow, the clip undoes itself, wrecknig the mantle at the same time.
Ok - now its time to buy a new mantle.4 buck mantle - 6.60 to ship it to me.10.60 for a piece of ash.I think its cheaper in nevada.
My parting advice - make sure you really tie those clips on good and tight and snug before you burn the mantle the first time.Next time I find a mantle somewhere (of course nobody stocks these in the store) I'm going to take a pair of pliers and twist those little spring things so they can stay put in the groove provided in the lamp.
Maybe then my price/hr of usage will go down.It costs more for mantles now than for propane!
