I don't have a gas powered lantern yet, but I'm thinking about it. One question I had is, "are you supposed to burn the mantel before you can use it"?
How does that work? A you-tube movie would be even better!!!

I use to work at a place called Fernald and I had to go through machines that detect radioactive material on me.. The machines were set apart about 2 feet apart and they were about 4 feet wide. The day I had to go to work, I replaced my mantels, went through the machine and set the machine two down from me off. Took me a few secs. but I realized what I had done. I had the remains of the mantels on my pants.. I had to go through an hour of decontamination...
