You will need to check your local building codes on running the gas lines.

Basically:

Get tall pipe, paint.
Add flow restrictor and safety valve
Top with torch unit.
Repeat as needed.

(check around, maybe cheaper to buy used units)

Buy propane tank and install (or tap existing NG lines)
Install flow restrictor for appropriate pressure for lines and torches
Run gas lines to torches
Connect torches

Light torches
Pour drink
enjoy.

I can't stress enough on checking with your local building codes. Where we live the gas lines have to be installed by licensed companies and there are severe fines for doing it yourself (and getting caught, that is).

If you already have natural gas for your house then gas torches are actually cheaper than citronella in the long run.

And remember, safety first. You actually are installing chances for things to go boom.
