A great heater! I've used them in the past and they really throw out a lot of heat. This one was used by a desert guy but age caught up with him and it lay in storage for twenty years or so. I'm 'assuming' that there are gaskets etc that will probably have dried out due to the CA climate...and the fact that the owner lived in the desert! Lamp used Coleman white gas too so there yah go. Lantern may need gaskets too, missing its globe.
