Apr 11, 2020 · Viola, it fit like it was made for it and works better than imagined. I didn't set out to make this fit in the UCO, and I had no idea it would fit. That was just a serendipity thing and the results are fantastic. It also works great for added stability just sitting in the candle holder alone with out being inserted in the outer UCO shell.

Aug 27, 2016 · I've been a UCO lantern fan for many years, can't say enough good things about these inexpensive, and very dependable candle lanterns,,, but, and I'm saying this with a heavy heart, Luci Lights are replacing them,,,: they're cheaper, lighter, don't require me to purchase expensive and heavy candles, don't require matches to light them, won't ...

Dec 22, 2019 · Converts a UCO Candlelier into an oil based heater that will produce 5000+ BTUs. The Candlelier can be had for about $40.00. I found the odorless lamp oil online for about $8.00/gal. Could easily heat a small tent. No issue with smoke if the wicks are adjusted properly, and no moisture issues. No need for a stove pipe.

Apr 1, 2016 · I've tried these, the regular UCO Stormproof matches, their even-smaller survival matches, and the Coghlan's/BCB stormproof matches. The Titan matches are well-made and reliable fire-starting tools. My preference is for Coghlan's stormproof matches with …

Apr 12, 2022 · A seller on ebay (tho once you purchase from him once, he will allow you contact him directly to save a little money) has started making a great lamp oil insert for Uco Candle Lanterns (and others). They are machined aluminum, work great and are not too $$$. I have both the large and small size.

Dec 25, 2010 · I have found a container the right size for moulding candles for the original UCO candle lanterns. they are 30mm x 90 mm. Dairy farms have milk sample bottles. they look like 35mm film canisters only much taller and a little wider. I have a candle burning in my lantern now. Will post pictures...

Feb 10, 2025 · Ive taken a liking to UCO matches of late. They have waterproof in boxes, stormproof i cases and Titan in a larger case. Ive been using the boxed matches to light fires and they work well. The stormproof burn quite a bit longer and have a larger flame. I havent struck a Titan yet, but am chomping at the bit to do so. What matches do you use?

Feb 8, 2014 · UCO - A GOOD strike-anywhere match! Previous posts have lamented the absence of dependable good-old strike anywhere wooden “kitchen” matches from store shelves in the USA. Well this may be an answer – UCO Strike Anywhere Matches manufactured in Chile and available on line. I paid $2.50 a box - a penny a match. (Google it for dealers.)
