    I'd give it a try, the Coleman usually have a small string to chinch them up befopre your burn them. Not much to loose here.

    If I were you I would try the Coleman type, if they work that is fine if they don't I would check with an old fashion hardware store, not Home Depot of Lowe's.

    Also check with your gas supplier For a while they sold Gas Lamps.
