I highly recommend this book and the other books in the series . — totallyfrozen ● Kerosene Pressure Lanterns is Book 6 of our Non-Electric Lighting Series . Lanterns that use mantles produce light on par with electric lights. And KEROSENE mantle lanterns have an advantage over Coleman-fuel lamps in that kerosene is more generic, more widely available. ● The book has four main sections — (1) It describes six different Coleman models, old and new, made specifically for kerosene. Collector items (expensive) and orphans (no spare parts) are ignored. The emphasis is on practical, day-to-day lighting. (2) It gives the specifics on converting nine different Coleman gas lanterns to kerosene (what generator to use, etc.). (3) It explains Petromax lanterns, a pre-World War II German design. Today, world-wide, there are actually more Petromax lanterns (and Petromax clones) in existence than Coleman. (4) And it explains Aladdin lamps, kerosene lamps that use a mantle but are not pressurized. Aladdins are over a hundred years old and a new model was recently introduced — the first new model in 50 years! ● Kerosene Pressure Lanterns contains 25,000 words, 168 B7W illustrations, and is 155 pages long. It’s available in Kindle eBook format as well as paper. ● AND — oh yes! — this book identifies eleven different lantern models that, given the right generator-mantle combo, will operate on diesel fuel. That alone is worth the price of admission! ● If you picture yourself being forced to live off-grid for an extended period of time, then THIS is the book you need. You don’t have to cook supper or fix the car or deliver a baby by the light of a candle. You can have light equivalent to a 50 or 100 or 200 or 300-watt electric bulb. Pressurized kerosene lanterns come from another day and age but are known, established, reliable technology. This book is not artsy-fartsy. It’s nitty-gritty. ★★★ Reader Feedback: I have owned several kerosene mantle lamps over the last 40 years . . . if you are interested [in kerosene mantle lamps], then I don’t know of a better source of information . — PLM ● This is an 8-book series.

Review: Witty and informative - I learned more about kerosene pressure lanterns in 30 minutes with this book than anyone had ever told me and more than I’d learned in hours of watching YouTube. I’ve read a few of Ron’s other books in this series and I find all of the easy to read, understand, and enjoy. The author incorporates plenty of humor, wit, and wisdom in this the historical and technical information. His books seem honest. He seems up front about when he’s sharing his personal opinion vs sharing information he discovered in research. As I become more educated on the various types of non-electric lighting, I find myself gravitating more toward Coleman gasoline lanterns than kerosene, but kerosene for heat and light is no slouch. It has a prominent place in the world of non-electric lighting. This book (like his others) demystifies many of the myths and vague information commonly found online. Differences in lantern designs, what is necessary for a lantern to efficiently burn kerosene, who the different brand names are, differences in quality, mantles, and...how to modify a gasoline lantern to kerosene. Plenty of photos. I highly recommend this book and the other books in the series.

So when I found one of the author's videos on YouTube, and asked, "How do I do that ?", he suggested I look for his book. There are some gotchas where things might no work the way he describes. I liken this to trying to make southern biscuits from a recipe - so many critical variables that don't lend themselves proper description in the recipe - easy to go wrong. So, when I attempted to follow his recipe for converting a naphtha (Coleman camp fuel) lantern to burn kerosene, his chapter was essential but not sufficient - there was some learning on my part. I did make it work in the end, and given the dearth of information on the topic, I highly recommend this work if you also would like to convert a lantern to kerosene. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/20396746-book-6-kerosene-pressure-lanterns-non-electric-lighting](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/20396746-book-6-kerosene-pressure-lanterns-non-electric-lighting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-11-15*
