The product, in the report: The Red, White and Blue Bamboo Torches are designed to help create a beautiful ambiance for your backyard and other out decor areas. The bamboo design complements your exterior decor. The torch lights with oil fuel (sold separately). Two of each color Refillable fuel canister Fire retardant finish Great for outdoors
I just purchased Home Depot’s advertised Memorial Day red/white/blue bamboo torch 6-pack special. I planted each in the ground and the unscrewed the cap of each and used a funnel to add new name-brand torch fuel from a sealed container. Just opening each proofed to be a challenge, either thanks to the cheap metal being warped or the paint acting as a sealant, but I was eventually able to open and fill each and ready to light.
I ensured that I wiped each one down thoroughly before lighting to ensure there was no spilled fuel, and also gathered together the frayed ends of each wick and poked down until only a quarter to half-inch of wick was exposed, as I had learned from my previous torches that this helps control the flame size. But by the time I lit the last one, I looked back and realized that the entire fuel canister of the first torch was engulfed, and the second well on its way to doing the same.
I quickly ran over to blow out the torch, but the flame was too large to extinguish by blowing it out. Fortunately I had a power blower on hand that I quickly cranked up and pointed at the torch (with throttle at idle). Just this amount of wind was enough to break the top support band that holds the fuel canister in place between the vertical prongs, and sent the now extinguished canister rolling across the lawn. Similar result followed with the second and third torch which had become engulfed in flame as well, and finally the fourth which was just starting to get out of control.
The problem seemed to be that too much fuel was being wicked up from the container, but I discovered once they cooled that they were not well sealed, and were all leaking from around the lid and from each seam at the top and bottom. Thankfully it wasn’t too windy and no alcohol had been consumed, otherwise this could have ended much differently.
