Lantern Fire Torch: a six-sided stainless cage with a pitched mesh roof, 14 inches tall
The Outdoor Plus Lantern Fire Torch is a handcrafted, six-sided stainless steel lantern with corner posts, a pitched perforated-mesh roof, and a visible flame inside the cage. Heat- and weather-resistant, it measures 14 inches tall by 8 inches across and tops a post by a gate, pool, or seating wall.
Choose the Original base, which has a built-in needle valve for setting 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. Prefer a heavier, louvered body? See the Hercules fire torch. The Lantern fire torch ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What is the Lantern Fire Torch modeled on?
The classic lantern form – an 8-inch stainless steel frame with openings that cage the flame the way old carriage lanterns caged a candle. Lit, the Lantern reads instantly familiar and warm; it is the most traditional silhouette in TOP’s torch collection.
What are the Lantern torch’s measurements and SKUs?
The Lantern spans 8 inches in diameter, stands 14 inches tall, and delivers up to 20,000 BTU. It is offered as the match-lit Original (OPT-TT6M) with built-in needle valve, or the TOP-Lite build (OPT-TCH6SS) designed for electronic ignition – both hand crafted.
Does the Lantern suit outdoor dining areas?
Very much – its warm caged glow is made for evenings that run long. Set a pair of Lanterns behind the seating zone or beside a fire pit table and you get overhead candlelight at patio scale, without wax, wind-blown flames, or restringing bistro bulbs.
How do I light the Lantern torch?
Match lit on the Original OPT-TT6M: crack the valve, reach in with a long-stem lighter, and set your flame height on the needle valve. Prefer no lighter at all? The TOP-Lite OPT-TCH6SS version is built for electronic ignition.
What mounting does the Lantern require?
A 2 1/2-inch post and hex bolts, with gas arriving through the standard 3/8-inch flared inlet. The Lantern’s traditional lines pair naturally with black steel or wood posts around 6 to 7 feet; a licensed installer handles the fuel run and final heights.
Is the Lantern OK outside all year?
Yes – each Lantern is hand crafted from high-grade stainless steel precisely so it can live outdoors through every season. Close the gas when storms blow in, since hard rain can put out the flame, and give the frame an occasional wipe-down.
What fuel does the Lantern burn?
Liquid propane or natural gas – TOP builds each Lantern to order for the fuel you specify at purchase. Budget-wise, figure about a pound of propane per hour at the full 20,000 BTU, or a negligible draw from a piped natural gas line.
