I have shopped C. H. Kadels for years - mostly oddball but useful stuff I was happy with until my last two orders regarding item description v. s. what I actually received. My first inkling was a "Kabar" spork - looked full sized in the ad but what came looked like it would fit right in at an infant's tea setting. Waterproof lighters were waterproof but leaked fluid that in turn burned the skin under my pocket - all imported cheap junk. Ordered the Dietz lantern "cooker". "Lantern will also cook!" "will burn 23 hrs. On 17 oz.#camp fuel#. Now to me camp fuel means either Coleman fuel or white gas. Pulled lantern from box - no instructions whatsoever regarding fuel type but something tells me nothing this flimsy and light could use "surestart" without blowing up. I pull up the lantern on two different sites and sure enough, use K1 kerosene or standard lamp oil - other sites also advertise heating up food or water - not "cooking". Pity the po foo who is unfamiliar with lanterns and fuel types who does put camp fuel in it - do I hear a lawsuit in the making? Will not be ordering anything with moving parts or possibilities of being burned alive by following the ads from these clowns anymore. My order #P******* was from the spring 2019 catalogue #CSP115, pgs. 41, 50, 51, 3.
