 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.
Natural Gas is naturally environmentally friendly.
Beyond carbon dioxide emissions, direct use of natural gas holds distinct environmental advantages in reduced production of other air pollutants (oxides of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and particulates), reduced solid waste and wastewater pollution at the point of production, and reduced land use disruption. The primary products of gas combustion are water and carbon dioxide, which are identical to what humans exhale.*
