 How many BTUs per hour will natural gas and propane lanterns use?
Our natural gas lanterns use 3451 BTUs per hour; our larger natural gas lanterns use 4854 BTUs per hour. Our propane gas lanterns use 2800 BTUs per hour; our larger propane gas lanterns use 4854 BTUs per hour. It's very similar to a pilot light on a stove.
Can I turn off my gas lantern?
Yes, all natural gas and propane gas lanterns include a shut-off valve located at the base of the burner; lanterns made without the electronic ignition option are designed to burn continuously. Lanterns equipped with electronic ignition can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch or can be operated with a timer or photo electronic cell allowing control over burn time.
What can I do to prevent wind from blowing out my gas lantern?
Our patented Wind Guard (U.S. Patent No. 6,468,072) is available as an option for high wind areas; however, all post mount models come equipped with a Wind Guard. If the lantern is equipped with electronic ignition, the lantern will re-light in the event the flame is blown out.
