Directions for Oil for Tiki Torches

A tiki torch, whether gas, electric or oil powered, can be a festive way to light any outdoor space. Refilling a tiki torch with oil is a straightforward process, but must be done carefully. Tiki torch oil can include scents or insect repellent such as citronella or can be as bare-bones as you please. No matter the fuel type, once you light a tiki torch, you can get back to your guests while it provides ambient light for hours.
