The Tempest Lantern by Travis Industries features a traditional looking glass lantern design with the same functions as the Tempest Torch. This lantern creates a distinctive source of outdoor lighting for patios, decks and landscapes and has a 20,000 - 14,000 BTU burner. It is constructed of tempered glass and the majority of steel components are made of 16 gauge 304 stainless steel. This electronic ignition model is fueled by liquid propane and is controlled by a wall switch control. This unit can also be used in conjunction with a programmable timer or controlled via a Smart Home system. This model comes with a rain cap which protects the flame in uncovered locations. The Tempest Lantern can be post mounted, pillar mounted or mounted on your outdoor wall or structural support to provide a handsome decorative element that also illuminates. The Pillar Mount works for columns or pedestals and the Wall Mount is used for entry ways and sides on building. The Deck Mount Post is for installation on decks (98" tall). The In Ground Post is used for installation in ground (buried). If you need additional mounts please refer to the Travis Industries Tempest Lantern Mounts.

Both the Deck Post and the In-ground post can be cut to alter the height of the installation. Note you will have to replace the pilot holes on the cut end to align with the lantern head or deck mount

Tempest Torch Transformer powers up to six electronic torches. Operating a manual ignition torch does not require a transformer.

The Tempest Lantern comes as a standard base unit (a.k.a Lantern Head) that includes gas valve, burner, igniter, tempered glass panels, rain cap and frame.

Tempest Torches and Tempest Lanterns are compatible with any of the Hearth Product Controls Outdoor Rated Timers, which allow you to control your torch with an automatic shut-off timer.

Inspect Torch prior to each use. Keep torch clean, remove any debris that collects in or on Torch. Inspect for spiders and insects, they may clog burner ports or air inlets and need be removed before using. Have the appliance inspected by a qualified service technician annually. The stainless steel burner top will discolor - this is normal.

Your Tempest torch is designed to be cleaned and maintained easily. The most common maintenance that your torch will require is glass cleaning. This is done by loosening the glass retaining screws. Each piece of glass will have its own retainer. Hold the glass by the exposed edge and slide horizontally out of its tracks, the glass should slide easily if its retainer screw is loose.

Clean with glass cleaner or warm soapy water. The glass on your Tempest is tempered and designed for safety. If it breaks it will shatter into small square pieces similar to a car windshield. It is special glass and if you break one or need to replace a piece use only 3/16" thick tempered glass supplied by your Tempest Torch dealer.

To inspect for or clean debris out of the inside of your torch remove one piece of glass. This will provide access to the inside of your torch. Once your glass piece is out remove the pyramid shaped piece with the rings on the top by lifting it straight up, once you are clear of the burner elements turn it sideways and remove through the glass opening. This will provide you a clear view of all the torch components, visually check for and remove all foreign objects, vegetation, bugs , debris. When reassembling make sure you orient the Pyramid plate correctly, the burner elements that stick up through this plate are delicate. Once oriented, slide the plate straight down onto the burner assembly making sure the edges are seated all the way down.

Winterizing the Torch
These procedures only apply to areas where the torch will not be used during winter or for a long period of time. Shut off gas supply to the torch. Place the included rain cap over on top of the torch. If additional protection is desired, a cover may be placed over the torch, making sure it does not damage the glass.
