Product description:
Utility companies used them as warning lights in the days before battery-operated orange flashers. Now, Smudge Pots have second lives as bug-repelling patio lamps. Made of heavy gauge steel with a weather-resistant finish, ours has a heavy ballast in the bottom so it won't blow over, while its wind-proof design ensures it won't blow out either. Fill with 48 fluid oz. citronella to keep insects at bay. Smudge Pot includes protective cap for wick when not in use. Measures 8"h x 8" dia.

Leaks like a sieve.
Pros

Cons
I purchased 2 of these to flank my porch stairs, they look great but when they are filled w/ oil they leak like a sieve and can't be used as they make a mess. I called and told customer service about the problem, they said they never have had complaints and were very nice about sending me replacements. They arrived quickly and also leak just as badly as the first two. Now I have four pots that are unusable. I'm very disappointed.

Pros
Look and size were what we were looking for. Sportys customer service was very good.
Cons
We bought 3 and 1 leaked. It was replaced very quickly by Sportys. I'm not sure about the quality control from the company. Time will tell if I would buy this product again.

Pros
I ordered 2 black torches- the torch is easy to fill, produces a great flame, great on a deck. I have several older ones and was excited to order more.
Cons
After burning a few hours the black paint seemed to burn off on the metal top that surrounds the wick leaving the metal exposed.Small rust areas appeared on the round ring that the chain for the top is attached to.
General Comments
I ordered 2 torches -the box smelled like kerosene when they arrived. I questioned whether they were new or refurbished. I am not sure these will last.
