Ellipse Fire Torch: staggered leaf-shaped cutouts in a stainless head, 14 inches tall
The Outdoor Plus Ellipse fire torch has a handcrafted stainless steel head with staggered pointed oval cutouts that let the flame glow through leaf shapes at night. Heat- and weather-resistant, it stands 14 inches tall and just under 4 inches across for mounting atop a post by pools, walkways, or seating walls.
Choose the Original base, which has a built-in needle valve for flame height adjustment 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. Prefer small honeycomb openings? See the Honeycomb fire torch.

FAQ
Is the Ellipse the original TOP fire torch?
It carries the first number in the line – OPT-TT1M – and its smooth elliptical silhouette is the design the rest of the torch family grew from. If you want the classic TOP torch look, the Ellipse is quite literally where it started.
What are the Ellipse torch’s core specs?
A 3 3/4-inch diameter head standing 14 inches tall with up to 20,000 BTU, individually hand crafted from high-grade stainless steel. Order it as the match-lit Original (OPT-TT1M) or the TOP-Lite version (OPT-TCH1SS) designed for electronic ignition.
What does the Ellipse mount to?
Any 2 1/2-inch post, fastened with hex bolts and fed through a 3/8-inch flared gas inlet. That standard fitting means the Ellipse works on wood, steel, or masonry-wrapped posts alike – have a licensed installer run the gas and set post heights, usually 6 to 8 feet.
How do I light and adjust the Ellipse?
Match lit on the Original base: open the valve, touch a long lighter to the burner, done. The built-in needle valve then adjusts the Ellipse’s flame precisely, from a quiet ribbon to a tall plume, and remembers your setting between evenings.
What does it cost to run an Ellipse torch?
At the full 20,000 BTU, figure about a pound of propane per hour – roughly 20 hours from a 20-pound tank – and much less when the needle valve is trimmed down. Piped natural gas is cheaper still, comparable to running a small gas fire pit on low.
How many Ellipse torches do I need for a pool or path?
Think in runs, not singles. Three to five Ellipse heads spaced 8 to 10 feet apart will line a pool edge or walkway with an even ribbon of flame; a matched pair suits a gate or stair. Its simple silhouette repeats beautifully without feeling busy.
Can the Ellipse be left out in the rain?
Yes – stainless steel construction means the Ellipse lives outside full time, rain included. Close the gas during storms because hard rain can douse an open flame, then relight once it clears. An occasional wipe-down is all the upkeep the head asks for.
