Welcome back to shop talk, today I’m going to be working on one of my favorite pieces of kit and that’s my UCO lantern. Not too long ago I stumbled upon a reddit post asking about a UCO lantern oil insert. I looked it up and much to my surprise it was actually something UCO sold at one point. Unfortunately, they’re not made any longer, so I turned to YouTube and found some other people that had figured out how to make your own. I figured I’d give this a go and take you all along with me.

Here's where I got the idea:
   • Oil Lamp Conversion for the UCO Candl...  
   • UCO Candle Lantern DIY Oil Insert  

Another great version of this:
