>>2051180The gas adjustment knob is VERY sensitive; you can turn the thing from 'barely visible flame' to 'flamethrower' very easily, and it's not difficult to accidentally turn it off when trying to turn the flame down. Once you have it adjusted to the right flame size/brightness, it's great. Tried it last night in heavy wind; it was difficult to light because the lighter kept getting blown out by the wind, but once the the lantern is lit, the wind barely affects it all. The chimney also barely gets warm, so it's safe to turn off, detach from the gas canister, and stow away in the plastic container. I paid way too much for it on ebay, but I LOVE this thing.
