Perhaps 3 lighters with ductaped to a stick might work. Don't know about lifetime.

Thanks I'll try that...right.

In my experience, Citronella oil tiki torches works well within a 12" radius.

Citronella oil tikki I will try. Although the season for tiki torches is coming to and end.

Perhaps it is time to move to honalulu for the winter.

Whatever the issue is with the subject line "tikki torches", yes, go to Hawaii, there are every kind of tiki torches there.
