A Dramatic Outdoor Lantern Unlike Anything Available: Tempest™ Gas Torch from Travis Industries – House of Fire
Breaking the barriers of standard torch design, Travis Industries proudly unveils the Tempest Gas Torch – a dramatic outdoor gas lantern unlike anything available. Designed to display and reflect a unique, intriguing flame presentation, the Tempest from Travis Industries features a spinning, spiral-like flame within an open-aired, rectangular ceramic glass housing.
Created as an outdoor lighting and outdoor furnishing/accessory for a wide-array of exterior settings and applications, the display possibilities are nearly endless: outdoor living spaces, front walkway pillars, mounted onto moveable stainless-steel columns, atop stone pillars or deck posts, or attached to any building’s exterior.
“The Tempest is designed to enhance practically any outdoor area – outdoor living spaces, grand entryways, retail & business storefronts – you name it,” explains Kurt Rumens, president of Travis Industries – House of Fire (www.travisproducts.com). “It is so unique and has such a mesmerizing flame the Tempest literally ‘Boldly Goes Where no Torch has Gone Before.”
Continuing Travis Industries’ long history of inventive product design, the Tempest’s “bold” innovation comes from its patent-pending torch technology that requires no mechanical or electrical means. Its no-power draft system simply utilizes the Venturi Effect for its unique flame appearance. The Tempest’s ceramic glass housing design directs the oxygen needed for combustion increasing the flame velocity for a dramatic, spiral-like presentation of fire.
Beyond its groundbreaking design, the Tempest’s practicality and usability are just as impressive. Available to run off attached gas lines or a five-gallon propane tank, the variable flame reaches a height of 17”, puts out up to 20,000 BTUs and can be manually-ignited with the built-in Piezo igniter. And the four-sided, 18” tall open-air ceramic glass housing is designed to prevent the flame from going out during high winds or rainfall, but includes an automatic gas safety shutoff valve should the flame ever go out.
And as most Travis Industries’ products, the Tempest Torch offers numerous display options for a personalized look: short or tall post versions, wall mounted, without base for those wanting to construct something unique or utilize an existing feature, and even an easy-to-move-around deck version utilizing a five-gallon propane tank. Each option is designed to incorporate the alluring, spiral-like flame into exterior spaces.
“Everyone who sees it asks: ‘What is this?” adds Rumens. “In fact, my neighbors want some installed within their outdoor living space as soon as possible, and even our dealers are installing them on their storefronts because they look so unique and draw customer interest.”
The Tempest from Travis Industries – House of Fire comes with a seven-year “real world” warranty and operates on either natural gas or propane. It is recommended all Travis Industries products be installed and maintained on an annual basis by an authorized, Travis retailer.
