I recommend to avoid lighters when lighting gas lamps. The ashes left of the gas mantle after carbonzing are so fragile the bit of "wind" from the gas flow can destroy a mantle. Gas mantles used to be a cheap commodity a long time ago but these days they can be as much as 5 € or even more per piece. Note that in this video only the carbonizing was started with a lighter. At the point the gas mantel is still mechanically stronger than after carbonization. This lamp has an igniter - what a luxury for a gas lamp 🙂
I bought an easy Primus Easy Light lantern but could not find any stores that sells Primus mantles for spare at our local area. Can I use Coleman or Peerless mantles and is so, what size is the equivalent for it in Coleman?

Good job mate, love you language it’s beautiful
What’s the difference between micron lantern and easylight?
cool process

I haven't tried it but I'm looking at the Coleman 51 mantle
The valve part becomes way! too hot to touch, it is normal ?
