For anyone wishing to make torches themselves (rather than purchase the nice-looking, pre-built units), I found the following "Outdoor Gas Light Open Flame Burner" in both Natural Gas (NG) and Liquid Propane (LP) varieties on eBay for a mere $23 (+$9 shipping).

I have no experience with these & am not sure how they'd look when used for tiki torches -- but they seem to offer an affordable way to have lots of gas-fed tiki torches.

The only thing seems to be that you'd have to fabricate your own metal cones to wrap just underneath the torch/burner head.

I talked with this company and they suggested using another type because they said the flame may blow out with these, not enough pressure and designed to be covered I guess. Im looking to for something or a way to make a flame lite sign for my tiki bar and my journey goes on I guess.

Here are links to the currently active listing for the Natural Gas and Liquid Propane versions. But since eBay doesn't really archive old listings, here's a screen capture for future reference...

Hope this helps someone! Good luck!
