>>2605752M8 you said it. Heat, cold, blizzard, thunderstorms, they just fucking work. Oil does burn slightly dirtier in sub freezing than in warm, but it still burns, and it's not volatile like gas or alcohol, and if you spill a lantern the oil will douse the fire because it can't burn without a proper wick. When you look at all the different firelight options; gas, alcohol, wax, and oil, the clear winners (in terms of reliability) are oil and wax. And man nothing's comfier than a clean burning oil lantern in winter, or just in the dark in general. It's winter where I am rn and I've my oil lantern burning on the mantle just for comfies. I hope to hand this lantern down when I die.
