About Feuerhand
Your questions about our brand
Do you offer factory tours?
We would be delighted to give you an insight into our production facility, as the traditional machines and skilled craftsmanship shape the quality of the hurricane lantern. Since 1989, the Feuerhand Baby Special 276 hurricane lantern has been manufactured as the sole model according to the original design principle as an open cold-air system.
Safety is always our top priority—not only when you use our products. With regard to the demand for factory tours, we unfortunately also have to carefully weigh the safety and insurance risks involved. We are therefore unable to offer public tours of the Feuerhand premises and production facilities.
Do you have a factory outlet?
The quality of Feuerhand products is what sets our brand apart. We only put products on the market that are flawless and meet the usual standards for first-quality goods. Therefore, there is no factory outlet for Feuerhand products. Since the Feuerhand brand has been part of Petromax GmbH since 2014, however, you can get an impression of our product range at our location in Magdeburg. In our Feuerhand showroom, you can browse, touch our products, take an in-depth look at all the available lantern colors, discover our stainless steel fire pits, and, of course, purchase all our products. During our opening hours (Mon–Thu: 9 a.m.–5 p.m. | Fri: 9 a.m.–3 p.m.), we are also happy to assist you with our expert knowledge and offer detailed product advice on site.
Can I sell one of my old Feuerhand lanterns to you?
We value every old Feuerhand storm lantern because it reminds us how durable this self-sufficient light source is—one that we still produce today. Although this approach to sustainability inspires us time and again, keep your treasure for yourself. We only offer new products for sale and therefore do not purchase used lanterns.
Where can I buy Feuerhand products?
You can order all our Feuerhand products for convivial moments in your garden or on your balcony directly here in our online shop. Whether a fire bowl, fire barrel, or the grill plate for a Spanish-style grilling experience à la plancha—our products give the classic campfire a modern boost. Accompanied by the storm lantern as reliable outdoor lighting, nothing stands in the way of shared evenings that you never want to end. You can also experience the quality of Feuerhand products in person at your local dealers or use their online sales service.
How can I become a Feuerhand dealer?

Open questions about the Feuerhand products
Is my lantern leaking?
If your lantern has a light film of oil on it or appears to be leaking in some places, it can often seem as though the storm lantern is defective or leaking. It is important to know that your storm lantern Baby Special 276 is an open system. It provides you with reliable, even light, particularly because of this open operating principle. This so-called cold-air system continuously supplies your storm lantern with oxygen. This keeps the flame alive and, thanks to its open design, your lantern produces a bright light. If your lantern feels oily in some places, this is not an indication that your storm lantern is defective. In most cases, you can easily fix this yourself. Possible causes of your lantern leaking may include:
- overfilling the tank
- too much movement and changing positions
- temperature fluctuations
- a wick that has been turned out too far
You can find more information and the appropriate solution on our Storm Lantern topic page.
How do I properly operate and maintain my Feuerhand storm lantern?
Once a storm lantern has captured your heart, you’ll naturally want to do everything you can to care for it properly so that it will last you a long time. It’s easier than you think. We’ve compiled the most important information in the instructions for use. Read them carefully and keep them handy for future questions about using your lantern. We’ve also provided 7 helpful tips and suggestions on our storm lantern information page. If you still haven’t found an answer to your question, don’t hesitate to contact us by phone, via email, or through our contact form.
Which fuel should I use for my storm lantern?
For your Feuerhand storm lantern, it is best to use a high-quality lamp oil with a high degree of fuel purity and no additives or fragrance. The right lamp oil not only prevents unpleasant odors, but also protects parts such as the glass chimney from soot buildup. Feuerhand Lamp Oil is ideally suited to your storm lantern. Thanks to its high purity, this colorless liquid fuel burns with minimal odor and soot. You can find all the advantages of Feuerhand Lamp Oil on the Storm Lantern topic page.
Can I order spare parts for all Feuerhand lantern models?
Since 1989, our storm lantern manufactory in northern Germany has produced exclusively the Baby Special 276 model. The focus of our spare parts production is also on the Baby Special 276. For this Feuerhand storm lantern, you will find spare parts and accessories such as globes, burners, and wicks in our shop.
Is the Feuerhand storm lantern “Made in Germany”?
The storm lantern is known and loved worldwide, but it originated in Germany. The Feuerhand storm lantern has been produced in Germany since 1893, and that is still the case today. At our production facility in northern Germany, the lantern model Baby Special 276 is still manufactured according to the same principle. Then as now, the Feuerhand lantern impresses with its outstanding quality and functionality, spreading its warm white light wherever people come together in a relaxed atmosphere.
Can I also order the Feuerhand hurricane lantern in my favorite color or with a custom embossing?
Do you have a one-time occasion or are you looking for a high-quality idea for business partners, groups, and more? Then you can order storm lanterns in the color that suits you perfectly or give them a unique character with a custom engraving on the tank or glass. You can request a specific quote via our contact form or by email. Special colors from the RAL spectrum are possible for orders of 100 or more. Tank and glass engravings can be commissioned for quantities of 10 or more. Individual pieces are not possible due to the high setup costs. Learn more about your custom Feuerhand storm lantern in the custom products section.
Why have the prices of the Feuerhand lanterns changed?
As of August 1, 2026, we have adjusted the prices of the Feuerhand storm lantern and LED lantern. Both lanterns are manufactured in Germany and carefully assembled by hand from 36 individual parts. High-quality materials, precise craftsmanship, and reliable quality have defined Feuerhand since 1893. The new prices help us maintain this standard in the future.
