Just remembered .I once bought a gas mantle type camping lamp for use in a tent and before I went camping with it I tried lighting it in the kitchen .Unfortunately I had a bit of difficulty getting it to light at first , as I put the 15th match to it and bent my head forward to look at it a twelve foot flame shot up in the air and parted my hair: That's why I have a head like a runway, plenty on each side but not much in the middle.
It's worked well ever since and is really cosy under canvas.
