Comet Fire Torch: slanted streak cutouts that make the flame look like it is moving, 14 inches tall
The Outdoor Plus Comet Fire Torch is a hand-crafted stainless steel torch head with slanted comet-streak slots that make its inner flame glow seem to race upward. It’s 14 inches tall and just under 4 inches across, for posts along pools, walkways, or seating walls. The steel withstands heat and weather.
Pick the Original base, which has a built-in needle valve for setting the flame height and bolts to any 2.5 inch post, or the TOP-Lite base that threads onto a half-inch gas pipe. Order it for natural gas or propane. Want rays instead of streaks? See the Sunshine fire torch.

FAQ
Why is it called the Comet Fire Torch?
The head is shaped like a comet streaking upward – a tapered stainless steel form that seems to point the flame at the sky. On a 3 3/4-inch body just 14 inches tall, the Comet adds a sense of motion to a post line without adding bulk.
What SKUs cover the Comet torch?
Three to know: OPT-TT21M for the match-lit Original, OPT-TCH21SS for the TOP-Lite electronic-ignition version, and OPT-TPK21LP for the complete liquid propane torch kit. All share the same hand-crafted 3 3/4-inch by 14-inch stainless head rated at 20,000 BTU.
Should I pick the Original or TOP-Lite base for the Comet?
Original (OPT-TT21M) if you like the ritual of match lighting and want the built-in needle valve for precise flame control. TOP-Lite (OPT-TCH21SS) if you would rather ignite the Comet electronically. Both mount the same way, so the decision is purely about how you want to light it.
How do Comet torches look flanking an entry?
That is their natural habitat. A matched pair of Comets on 6-to-7-foot posts either side of a gate or front walk creates a genuine arrival moment, and the tapered heads draw the eye upward. For longer approaches, repeat a Comet every 8 feet or so on alternating sides.
How much gas does the Comet use?
At its 20,000 BTU maximum, a propane-fed Comet uses roughly one pound of fuel per hour – call it 20 hours from a standard 20-pound tank. Run it lower with the needle valve and it stretches much further. On natural gas it simply draws off your home line.
Is the Comet OK in bad weather?
Its stainless steel construction shrugs off rain, sun, and heat cycles. Just close the gas during storms – driving rain can snuff any open flame – then relight the Comet once the weather passes. No cover is required, though one keeps the finish spotless.
Can I roast marshmallows over a Comet torch?
Skip it – the Comet is a decorative accent flame at the top of a post, not a cooking fire. For s’mores, gather around a fire bowl at seating height and let the Comet handle the ambiance overhead.
