No more walking outside in the dark…

Weber manufactures great products. It is a wonderful outdoor product that proves to be useful and great quality. It provides outdoor lighting that is portable—such a clever invention.
They come in several finishes with Stainless Steel being a bit pricier, but more durable. They look great and are a wonderful addition to any facility.
When you receive them, you’ll have to do a bit of assembly. You only need a hammer and a lock of wood to assemble them. There are two fluted posts, one base post, one ground post, the torch holder, and torch body with attached snuffer cap. These torches are held in place by stakes—using the hammer and block of wood, you pound the ground post about 6” into the ground. That’s the hardest part—the rest is just adding the base post and then as many fluted posts as you desire. The more posts, the higher the torch. When you’ve reached the desired height, add the wire torch holder and then fill the torch body with fuel (up to ½” below the top of the torch). Add the wick and let it soak up fuel (plan ahead, you’ll need to give it 2-3 hours of soaking). Put the body into the wire holder and you’re done! When it is time to light it, remove the snuffer cap and light—that’s it!
The bowl is huge! It measures 9-1/2” x 9-1/2” x 7” and hold one gallon of fuel—enough for the entire night with no refilling. They can last about 20 hours without refilling—the length depends on the wind—if it works hard to stay lit it uses more fuel. The bowl does get really hot—don’t try to remove it until it’s cooled.
For maximum effect, you’ll need more than one. They’re fabulous and look great. With the stainless steel exterior, you can expect them to last for years!
Just as a fair warning, you should know that you should only use these outdoors. Only use commercially manufactured torch fuels and follow directions for use and storage. Never use near combustible materials. Don’t try to blow them out—use the attached snuffer cap. It’s a great product, but you have to be safe about it!
