Tiki torch wicks

Tiki torch wicks are most commonly made from fiberglass or cotton. One of the benefits of fiberglass tiki torch wicks is that they will stay better lit during both rainy and/or windy conditions than cotton wicks and other types of wicks. Also, they rarely need replacing -- you can not burn down a fiberglass wick. They could, however, eventually need to be replaced due to contamination, poor fuel, or long exposure to heavy storms.

To adjust the height of your flame, you need only to adjust how much of your tiki torch wick is exposed – the more wick you expose, the higher your flame will be.

If you are not using fiberglass tiki torch wicks (which seem to last indefinitely, even as the fuel burns up), it is a good idea to check the length of your tiki torch wicks before your backyard party starts. Have a few extra tiki torch wicks and some extra fuel on hand, just in case your party goes well into the night.
