Square peg, round world.
Wiki says the byproduct is acetylene, heat, and calcium hydroxide. Calcium hydroxide has a lot of uses, so I don't know what the issue is.

That mica screen is so cool! There is an old abandoned mica mine across the river from me, occasionally boat over for a cool sparkly hike up to it.
Not sure the era it was operating, but ive Always wondered what the heck they did with it.

This candle lantern uses mica "glass"...

I wonder how hard it would be to cut your own lenses from pieces found at the mine? A lot of cool stuff you could make with that.

Near as I can tell....the road flare is NOT to be called a "smudge pot".
A smudge pot is a large diesel burning contraption used to keep fruit trees from freezing apparently.

nice. The three burners are awesome. Hard to find these days. That one is definitely older with a round tank that fills on the end.
never seen one of those road flares before......or at least they haven't caught my eye but I will be on the lookout. How much?
also, note the Coleman has no warning labels. it because it was made before lawyers were invented.

Some friends of ours were on a trip when they were rear-ended. Totaled the car and a bit of their camping gear, bit they are okay, aside rom some bruising. Among the casualties was his Coleman 425F camp stove. I got to looking around on the web for him a replacement. (He'd rather buy old and used than new). While searching eBay, I stumbled across a 1981 Coleman 413H, new, old stock. I needed it about like I need another truck payment, but I bought it. I'm looking forward to breaking it in and using it.
@Burnham.....Earlier in this thread, you mentioned the generator going out on your old Coleman and getting a propane stove. Have you found it "better" than the old gas stove? And if so, in what way?
