Interesting, your idea with the fixed mantle.
What do you use for mantles?
You have placed so much mantles around your fount
What is the heat protection good for?
I never have seen before.
Let me know

Hmm, nice idea, it seems that Coleman Northstar-mantles are much easier to get at your place, - or much cheaper than in Germany
Looks good and very custommade
Best regards, Björn

Many thanks for your comments gentlemen, much appreciated. The Coleman # 95 mantles are easy to get,but not cheap ($10 for a pack of 2) as you can see I wasted many trying to get the proper adjustment. It's really bright.......the picture shows it cooling down.
The mantle base and generator shield protecs the gen from the excess heat.....it works nicely.
One draw back is that the chimney cannot be removed without destroying a perfectly good mantle.Thanks

Good idea to fix the nozzle with screws
I prefer the way to use exhaust mounting paste on the nozzle screw.
It is working in the same way

nice custom work !
you could introduce the whole lamp with tha airbrush design to us

Fantastic! Well done
As you say, the only drawback is not being able to remove the top, which means every time you need to remove the glass for cleaning you need another mantle.
I am going to try to straighten out my double-tie mantle support to get it central, but I fear I will break the bottom ceramic support in the process.

Thank you for the compliments.
Although the double tie mantles are more durable and may emmitt more light,I still prefer that classic shape of the original Petromax mantles,but when shrunk they don't always take that beautiful form,and many are too small.I'm not familiar. Can you remove the chimney with your mantle support in place?
Thanks and good luck! -
Yes, the mantle support is held in place by the nozzle (the base of it is like a large washer with the hole in the centre just big enough for the nozzle threads to pass through. The whole assembly can be carefully lifted through keeping the mantle intact.
