Why is a solid copper top recommended for lanterns that use liquid propane (LP)?

We recommend solid copper top panels for all lanterns equipped with liquid propane as fuel. Because liquid propane emits a high carbon residue when burned (in lighting applications), it will likely soot the inside top of the lantern, which would darken and reduce the translucency of glass top panels.
