Create a Night Party Look with Gas Tiki Torches

If you are hosting a dinner party in your garden, then a fire pit table could do wonders. But to add an extra charm, fuel lit gas tiki torches are essential as they add a dimension to your outdoor parties. What should you keep in mind while installing a tiki torch?

The placement of the torch

The areas that are perfect for tiki torches are the patio, walkways, the deck where you will entertain your guests. The torches should be spread out and spaced with a distance of five feet between them. This wards off danger and at the same time allow people to move freely. Keep them at a distance of six feet from the house. Do not place them close to trees or overhanging branches as there is a chance of catching fire.

Tiki torch stands should be extra stable. You can use waterproof torches by digging holes in the ground and firming them with cement.

Refilling

Tiki torch can be refilled but make sure that the torch has cooled down before you refill it with gas. Rotate the wick ring until it pops out. A plastic or metal funnel should be used while pouring fuel into the vessel. Two third of the vessel should be filled. The wick should be replaced by securing the ring. The fuel cap should be replaced immediately and stored in cool and dry places away from children and pets. If there is an accidental spill on the patio or the garage, the fuel should be soaked immediately with a commercial cleaner that cuts into the oil and the affected areas should be dried by opening doors and windows depending on the location where the spillage happened.

Extinguishing the torch.

Tikki torch comes with a snuffer cap that helps to extinguish the torch easily. The wick ring of each torch acts as an extinguisher as well. Carefully place the cap on the wick so that it is completely covered. Let the flame extinguish. Remove it and allow it to cool completely. After replacing the snuffer cap to protect the wick, wait till it cools down.

Storing

When you are cleaning your tiki torch and storing it for later use you can leave the fuel that is inside the torch. Make sure that you make your torch stand in an upright position ensuring the tip does not fall in an upside-down position. Store in cool dry places away from inflammable substances. You can store them in a non-insulated shed, provided you live in a place where the outside climate does not freeze the fuel.
