FAQs
What type of fuel should I use?
These torches are compatible with most standard lamp oils and torch fuels. Citronella oil is also a popular choice for its insect-repelling properties.
Does the fuel come with the torches?
No, the fuel is not included with the set of torches and must be purchased separately.
How long will the torches stay lit?
The burn time depends on the type of fuel used, the wick's length, and ambient conditions. Typically, a full fuel chamber can provide several hours of light.
Can I use these torches on a hard surface like a deck?
These torches are designed to be staked into the ground. For use on hard surfaces like decks or patios, you would need to use a separate torch stand or holder that can accommodate the fuel chamber.
How do I care for the bamboo poles?
To maintain the bamboo's appearance, wipe with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh elements when not in use, and consider storing them indoors during inclement weather or the off-season.
Are these torches wind-resistant?
While the torches are designed for outdoor use, very strong winds can affect the flame. Ensure they are securely staked into the ground, and consider lighting them only in calm conditions or with appropriate wind protection if needed.
What is the height of each torch?
Each torch in this set is 60cm in height.
Troubleshooting
Torch will not light
Ensure the wick is properly saturated with fuel. Check that the fuel chamber is securely attached and filled. Allow the wick a few minutes to draw fuel before attempting to light again.
Flame is too small or flickers excessively
Adjust the wick height; a slightly longer wick generally produces a larger flame. Ensure there are no strong drafts affecting the flame. Check fuel level; a low fuel level can cause inconsistent burning.
Bamboo pole feels unstable in the ground
Ensure the ground is sufficiently soft for insertion. If the ground is hard, moisten it slightly. For added stability, consider using a torch stand (sold separately) or providing additional support around the base.
Fuel leaks from the chamber
Verify that the screw-top lid is fully tightened. Inspect the fuel chamber for any cracks or damage. Ensure the torch is kept upright when filled and lit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Screw the fuel chamber back onto the bamboo pole securely.
- Insert the angled tip of the bamboo pole firmly into the ground at your desired location. Ensure it is stable before lighting.
- Light the wick (ensure the wick is saturated with fuel). Allow a moment for the flame to establish.
Compatibility:
- Fuel: Compatible with standard lamp oils and torch fuels. Citronella oil is also suitable.
- Ground Type: Best suited for soft ground such as soil, grass, or sand, allowing the stake to be inserted easily.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the bamboo pole with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals. The metal fuel chamber can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution.
- Storage: Store indoors in a dry place when not in use, especially during harsh weather conditions or off-season, to prolong the life of the bamboo.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the bamboo for any signs of wear and tear. Ensure the fuel chamber seal is tight before each use.
