I received this a while back but I needed a little time before I could write an honest review. I didn’t use this on the patio, I took it with me camping. I used it with citronella oil against the mosquitos. This worked so well. I used it at 12000 feet in Colorado. It was a little windy. This torch burned like a champ. It also provided a nice flame and some nice ambiance. This torch works very well. It’s not too big, but not too small either. The flame was big and bright. The citronella oil is great to use with it for those mosquitos too. Great product!!!
