Abstract: A collapsible campstove and lantern arrangement which may be readily converted from a campstove to a camp lantern and which is disassembleable into a compact lightweight unit that can be easily carried by a backpacking camper. The campstove and lantern arrangement includes a lantern subassembly that is adapted to support a standard cloth mantle and efficiently distribute the fuel during burning so as to produce a relatively bright lighting effect. The illustrated lantern subassembly includes an apertured flame distributor having a smooth uninterrupted sleeve portion intermediate its ends about which the cloth mantle may be tied in its assembled position. The lower end of the distributor tube is formed with a plurality of resilient fingers that permit the lantern subassembly to be removeably and adjustably positioned on different sized gas outlet tubes of camp stoves.
