They're like 4' long and burn through the bamboo like butter. I used mine to make shorties and taller torches. It helps to have somebody hold the torch for you so it won't spin. Also, Home Depot has some really cool chandelier-base sockets that actually screw right into the oil can in place of the original cap. I like these a lot and am slowly retrofitting my existing torches with them.
