Description
In this completely revised and updated classic, Matson describes in lively detail all the elements of firelight-beginning with an explanation of the lighting system he developed from his Vermont home. * The romantic history and modern molding of candlepower
* Traditional kerosene lamps
* The versatile Aladdin
* Liquid propane (LP) gas lights
* Kerosene and gas pressure lanterns (the Coleman)
* Incandescent mantle safety
* The "Return of Firelight" from glass-fronted hearths and stoves
In addition, Matson shows how to select, assemble, install, and safely maintain these non-electric sources of light. This guide will be indispensable for vacation homes, camps, boats, RVs, independent homesteads-and anywhere in a blackout.
