It took a while, but we were able to source an amazing tiki torch fuel that had the characteristics that were most important to us. Firefly Tiki Torch Fuel produces NOTICEABLY less smoke and soot. Now, here’s the best part, it burns significantly longer than our major competitor’s tiki fuel! No Kidding.
Pour spouts sold separately: see accessories. Spigot included with a 5-gallon.
The base fuel is virtually odorless. The fuel is available pure, without a scent, or is available with Citronella or Eucalyptus Oil. The scents are discernable out of the bottle but when burning are very subtle.
We hired an outside lab to test the amount of smoke and soot that was emitted from our Firefly Tiki Fuel vs. common, big-box tiki torch fluid. We also ran our own in-house tests illustrating visual performance as well as time-lapse burn times. The lab tests were done using specific ASTME standards. The results showed our fuel produced much less smoke than our competitor. The figures show our competitor produced 350% more smoke and soot than our tiki fuel. Keep in mind lab tests and our in-house tests were done with some specific controls, i.e., exact wick heights, new, uncontaminated wicks and uncontaminated fuel supply.
The two variables that affect results are contaminated wicks and wicks that are simply exposed too much. Your torch wastes fuel and smokes excessively when the wick is over exposed.
The wicks should not be exposed more than 1/4″ to provide a nice flame. We keep ours flush with the collar. There are some torches that have poor wick collars that don’t manage the flow of fuel up the wick properly and may require even lower wick heights. Be sure to use high-quality, fiberglass tiki torch wicks.
Contaminated wicks are another culprit contributing to poor performance. If you leave your torches outside and uncovered, your wick is soaking up that lovely rain water. Additionally, if you change fuels, you need to change the wick too or at least dry it out and then soak in Firefly Fuel. You must also empty the torch reservoirs to insure our tiki torch fuel is not mixed with whatever fuel you have been using as the performance will be compromised.
Firefly Tiki Torch Oil works great in tiki torches, canisters, fire pots with a wick and other similar products.
You own high-quality Tiki Torches, and you need to use the best fuel that burns lean, doesn’t soot up your beautiful torches, odorless, provides a nice flame and lasts a long time. Firefly Tiki Torch Fuel is pure, odorless, lasts a very long time, and works with all cotton wicks and fiberglass replacement wicks. We searched far and wide for a superior long-lasting formula that stays lit, even in inclement weather. Firefly Pure Tiki Torch Fuel is a low-smoke, odorless, high-quality formula and free from unwanted additives.
We also offer Citronella Tiki Torch Fuel with the fresh, lemony scent of pure Citronella Oil. If Citronella Scent is not your thing, try our Eucalyptus tiki torch fuel. It smells fresh out of the bottle but is very subtle when burning.
Select the volume that works best for you – 32 ounces, 1 gallon, 5 gallons, 55 gallons or a 330-gallon tote.
