Matney Bamboo Torches for Outside Mosquitos Repellent - 5 Ft. Tall - (12 Pack) - Decorative Garden & Backyard Lights - Mosquito Torches Outdoor - Oil Lamp for Citronella - Flame Lasts Over 8 Hours

Excellent

We used them for Halloween. They were super fun.1-100oz bottle of fuel will be enough for all of them to burn for 4hrs. I bought 2 and had a whole extra bottle.Have a small scrwedriver ready to pry out the wick and lids from the wood stopper cap. They were mostly stuck.Gloves for after to empty the excess fuel for storage. The wicks are sooty and soaked with fuel.The longer the wick (like 2") the higher the flame. 1" is just a glow flame. Consider fireing a couple up to determine the desired safe flame if its important.The stoppers worked just fine to put the flames out.I think the wicks should be pretty soaked befor lighting for them to not just burn away.They pose a fire hazard so be very careful! I reccommend a fire extenguisher if a hose isn't nearby.

For the price I was impressed, there were one or two that had cracks in the bottom stick portion but nothing a little duct tape didn’t take care of. Once in the ground no one could notice it. Also one snuffer was cracked in half, still does the job. I’ve had them in the south Florida heat and rain for a few months now and the still work great. Just gotta make sure the keep the wicks covered when not in use.

I’ve only had the chance to use them once and for the one time use they were great. I will be sure to update my review when I use them again to review how well they are for multiple use, but they worked great for our outside party last weekend and came undamaged.

The torch wick caps were broken in the packaging on 4 of the torches. How the torches are made, the wick caps are necessary to keep water from entering the oil canister. Since the oil canister is glued to the torches it is not an easy replacement once water gets inside. I am hoping the company will at least send me 4 replacement caps. Then I would change my rating to 4 stars.

They arrived quickly the basket that holds the canister on 4 of the 12 was a little unraveled but overall it was sturdy. We predrilled the hole so not to put stress on the bamboo. They look great. We used them in groups of three around a large pool and patio area.

I have owned and purchased many tiki torches over the years, mostly Tiki brand. These are hands-down the worst tiki torches I have ever had in my life. They barely even lit, half of them wouldn’t even keep a flame more than 30 to 40 seconds. I filled these with high-quality citronella tiki brand torch fuel. Some of the bottles of two blunted to stick in the ground, either way they don’t like, they won’t stay lit very long if they do and you should spend the extra $10 and get something that will actually work. Seriously, buyer beware this is a garbage product.

I love that they were easy to push into the ground yet they didn't damage the grass at all. They have off the perfect amount of light for my yard and also looked beautiful.
