I have a question about Tiki torch
I am getting low of Tiki fuel. I know Walmart sells but $8 is pretty expensive. I was wondering if I can use Kerosene instead of Tiki fuel? If not what other fuel that you use? Thank for input....

- It just came up in my mind that I never thought about - Lamp oil. It will work.
- Use to soak dried cattails in kerosene. That was right after I invented fire.
- Kerosene works but it does stink and smoke a bit unless the wick is cut real short. I have even seen a neighbor use gasoline!! It worked but I wouldn't recommend it.

They are not intended for unsupervised use. I enjoy them and the Citronella oil helps ward off bugs.- We stopped using them all together since we had two of them get knocked or blown over while lite.

- How much do you use in one season?...Kerosene won't be that much cheaper and it does stink.
B.O. - Try the dollar type stores for fuel.
- We got solar powered ones :) :) :)
to go with the pink flamingos ! - I have a set on my deck and that is all I ever use. Kerosene does smoke more then the Tiki fuel but I really don;t notice odors.
- Kerosene is gonna stink.
