Propane Lantern
Gas Lanterns are probably the most expensive to buy because of the fuel that must be purchased and used on a fairly regular basis. They also have safety risks that must be considered with the use of highly inflammable fuel and open flame; however, for those lanterns using propane, there are ready made canisters available that will preclude the need for a funnel and manual refilling.
The newer gas lanterns are dependable, require minimal maintenance, and have spare parts/accessory items readily available . They produce a bright/steady light and are considered ideal for an out-side or large enclosed area. Also, if your are camping somewhere cold, a gas lantern does produce considerable heat.
When purchasing one of the many gas lanterns, I would suggest you look for a lantern that uses the same type of fuel as your other camping equipment. This would reduce the storage/resupply hassles.
