The Torch

The Torch 10,000 BTU tabletop propane. Vertical glass-tube flame column. 4.5 sq ft heat radius. Runs 3–4 hrs on a $4 Coleman bottle. We'll say it before you do Every 10–11k BTU tabletop propane heater at this size makes roughly the same heat and burns roughly the same 3–4 hrs on a 1-lb bottle. What actually differs is the glass tube — most tabletop propane heaters use an amber mesh burner in a wire cage. This one uses a vertical glass column with the flame visible top-to-bottom. It's a lantern more than a heater cage. Same heat, better silhouette on the table at dusk. What actually differs 10,000 BTU heat output — 4.5 sq ft heating radius, 360° coverage through the glass tube Vertical tempered-glass flame tube — see the amber flame column top to bottom instead of behind a wire cage Small square silver reflector top (9″×9″) bounces radiant heat back down over the seating area Hammered-bronze steel base with magnetic-suction door for 1-second propane bottle access 10″ × 10″ footprint, 35″ tall, 11 lbs — one-hand carry from the shed to the deck Runs on 1.02-lb disposable propane bottles (Coleman-style — 3–4 hours per bottle on high) Piezo ignition with indicator light — 1 AA battery required (not included) Non-slip foot pads keep it stable on wobbly patio tables CSA certified for outdoor use Safety cutoffs: tip-over shutoff, flame-out shutoff Perfect for The porch that needs a little atmosphere plus warmth The dinner table that ran past sunset The Airbnb rental that needs a "look" as much as a working heater The bistro table for two on the deck in October The wedding rental company that wants glass-tube heaters at every table Specifications Heat output 10,000 BTU Heating radius ~4.5 sq ft (360°) Fuel 1.02-lb disposable propane bottle (not included) Runtime per bottle 3–4 hours on high Battery 1 × AA (not included, ignition only) Overall dimensions 10″ W × 10″ D × 35″ H Reflector top 9″ × 9″ Weight 11 lbs Housing Rustproof steel base, tempered-glass flame tube, silver steel wire pyramid cage Access Magnetic-suction door Ignition Piezo with indicator light Certification CSA Listed, outdoor use only Safety cutoffs Tip-over, flame-out What is included One Torch tabletop pyramid propane patio heater (fully assembled) Instruction manual with ignition steps and safety guidance Complete hardware Propane bottle NOT included. 1 × AA battery NOT included. Buy 1.02-lb disposable propane bottles at any hardware or camping store for $3–5 each. What it cannot do Not for indoor use. Designed for open-air outdoor use only, not enclosed rooms. Covered outdoor patio with open sides — fine. Sunroom with the doors shut — no. Not a whole-patio heater. 10,000 BTU warms the 2–3 people sitting at the table with it. A full deck of guests wants a 40k+ BTU standing patio heater instead. Not something to leave running unattended. Turn off the valve when you go inside. Not refillable. Uses disposable 1-lb bottles only. Not for high wind. Sustained wind over ~10 mph will blow out the flame — the flameout sensor shuts off the gas, but you won't get heat. Maintain clearance: 24″ from anything above the reflector, 36″ from anything to the sides.
