    Get a pipe wrench and a small tube so you can siphon from the top.
    Am I the only guy that drains the water heater once a year to get the sediment out?

    Probably we do it bi-annually, every 6 months for the layman.

    I looked for these on Amazon and came up with a bunch of brass Genie type brass things. Are you talking about what we used to call hurricane lamps with wicks that run on oil? I don't remember them being that hot.

    Even your regular Coleman lanterns throw a lot of heat-I used to heat my tent up in the mornings during hunting season with one.

    and don't shy away from the CR123 lights--if you buy in bulk, these batteries can be had for about $1 per. longer shelf life, greater performance, too.

    That's the key word IF you Buy in BULK. I have a few 123 lights that are collecting dust, just because i refuse to buy them anymore.
    AA batteries are everywhere. Same for C, d and even the AAA's a lot of the small LED's use.
