I posted because I saw a thread where we were recommended. So happy! So I thought I would try and recruit people to help us defend our torch name. As to the use of metal canisters - cheap steel cans are the most cost-effective container that will not eventually catch fire. The steel has a good heat dispersion, too, so it helps prevent the torch from getting too hot. non-rusting containers would be rather expensive, or overheat at the wick, which would give a rather more flamboyant effect than desired! Our family actually calls the torches lu'au torches. I only started hearing them called tiki torches in the late 80s or early 90s. [ Edited by: Leilehua 2015-06-25 10:53 ]
