Aloha,

Time to light up the back yard with the soft warm glow of Tiki Torch-light, and want to improve upon the basic woven-bamboo-with cannister-of-oil torches I have always used before.

So, the questions:

1. Are all oil cannister based torches about the same in your experience?

2. Are some wicks better than others?
   The classic torches seem to have just not quite enough flame "oomph" to 'em, you know? More like candles than TORCHES, so to speak.

3. Anybody using those propane torches that use the 14.1 ounce disposable propane or citropane cannisters?
   Here is a link, they can be had for as little as 30.00 each at other sites.

4. Anybody ever have permanent natural gas torches installed?
   Our local contractor said that gas lines to the torches would run 38.00 per foot, way outta our league.

I'd love to hear your experiences and preferences!
