coleman lanterns

[woody]

Can you hook up a Coleman propane lantern to refillable bottles and if so do you need an additional regulator?
I'd like to cut down on the throw away bottles.
5 inches of ice on Balsam and Sand Lakes in Polk County. Fish on!!!

I have done this.  Just need the hose to connect the two together.

Do you need another regulator or is the one on the lantern good enough?

tks,

The one on the lantern is fine, I use the hose for both my lantern and my coleman stove. No extra reg. needed

agree, just need the hose to connect the two, no need for additional regulator.

No regulator needed, I made a little manifold that I can hook my lantern , which I made a stand for since you do not have the bottle to stand on, or you can hang the lantern from something. on the other outlet I run my propane heater that is normally on the 20# bottle, I now mount the heater on the back wall of my icehouse, and the third I can use for my Coleman cook stove. set me back around 25 bucks. Picked up every thing at Cenex Hardware. The 20# bottle sets out back of my shack and I have more room inside

They make a "T" bar adapter that allows you to hook both the Mr Heater and/or lantern right to the big tank.  You can get a solid adapter as well, so that the lantern doesn't need a stand.  I ditched the lantern this year and went with a LED head lamp instead.
