I happen to have a dietz blizzard--someone gave it to me, or maybe it was left on the property I bought. I don't share your opinion of the aesthetics of the thing, but I dusted it off after reading your first article recently.
I share a similar love for lanterns and their light quality, although I've mainly just used gas lanterns with mantles.
It smelled strange so I've had it burning outside for a while with no issues. Thanks for poking me with your series, I always forget how much I love lanterns.
