Mantles are small cloth bags made of non-flammable line that catch and ignite a small amount of propane. This is what makes the lantern light up.
It's not a separate component; it's part of the igniter assembly. It has to be done wrong.

Selected User Reviews For Coleman Gas Lantern | 1000 Lumens QuickPack 2-Mantle Propane Lantern with Carry Case
I've had this lantern for five years and it's simply the best--easy to use and brilliantly bright. br>Any issues people are reporting are with the packing and shipping processbr>br>I've taken it camping dozens of times over the years and always get compliments from old school outdoorsmanbr>br>The push button start never fails, and the plastic shield works just fine for protecting the globe while it's being stored- br>I have had no problems with it after five years of use, and it still has the original globe on it. It is simply a fantastic product.
My other gas lanterns are much heavier than this one. The carrying case appears to be adequate for civilized transportation, but it will fail if the going gets rough, lol, which is an alternate use for a blanket. It was purchased in order to expand my lighting options. Off-grid living has yet another tool in its toolbox.
Coleman lanterns, both new and old, are among my favorite things to collect. It's good to see that gas burners are still available in this day and age of low-cost LEDs. I remember using this lantern as a Boy Scout nearly 50 years ago, and it brings back fond memories. I don't know what else to say except that it works!.
It throws a lot of light. When I'm camping, I hang it in a screen room so I can read comfortably. As others have mentioned, I have no problems with the propane tank or base. My propane tanks are Coleman, and they fit perfectly in the base. The carry handle is by far the most problematic aspect. When illuminated, the handle ends easily pull out of the cap, posing a danger. The second issue is that the lantern gets extremely hot, which is to be expected. After you've turned it on, leave it in place. This isn't something you'd want to use inside a tent.
On h, the lighting is extremely bright. The glass on this lamp was criticized by some reviewers as being too thin. I don't think the thickness of the glass is a big deal because I won't be throwing it around. br>br>Here are the facts as I see them following a five-day, four-night hunting/camping trip. It works. It's very simple to start the lantern once the mantles are set up (do this downwind, they smell a lot when they're burning for the first time before using the lantern). On high, it's very bright, and there are two other settings for lower light. White gas and funnels are not to be messed with. A small propane cylinder is simply screwed on (carefully). It also collapses into its own case. That is all there is to it.
This was simple to put together and performed as expected. It even comes with a plastic clamshell cover to keep it safe during transport. I think this will be my go-to lantern in the future.
Both the case and the stand are inexpensive. Because the stand does not lock into the propane bottle, you must also get the cheap plastic bottom when you purchase the lantern. I've had Coleman lanterns for 30 years, and this case and stand are a letdown. Separately, invest in a good case.
I have a lot of LED lights, but this propane-powered lantern is a great addition to my collection. The reason for this is that this lantern will provide some warmth and a good vibe while camping at night. Please be aware that the glass surface will be extremely hot after use; if you touch it or replace the cover, you will injure yourself or cause the cover material to melt. Overall, I recommend this product with caution and common sense.
