User Manual

  1. Place the Swedish torch upright on a flat surface. It is important to keep the torch away from flammable materials.
  2. The bottom hole containing the wick must be positioned at the lower end.
  3. Light the torch from the wick and wait about 10 minutes for it to ignite. The flame height is approximately 20 cm.
  4. If the torch should go out for any reason (e.g., due to strong wind), drop a lit match down through the top chimney, and the torch should reignite on its own.

What is a Swedish torch?

A Swedish torch (also known as a Swedish torch or Canadian candle) is a practical and impressive way to make a fire. It is a single log with cuts or drilled holes that allow it to burn in a controlled and stable manner. The torch is filled with a flammable substance and includes a convenient wick. The mosquito-repellent version also contains lemongrass extract. A Swedish torch serves as both a light and heat source and is perfect for outdoor use – for example, while hiking, at a summer home, or at a garden party. A torch with cuts can also be used for cooking by placing a pan directly on top of the log.

Historical Background

The idea of the Swedish torch dates back to the 17th century and is associated with the Swedish army, where it was used as a simple and efficient fire source on the battlefield. Since small firewood was scarce in many places, a way was developed for a single log to function instead of a traditional campfire.


How do Swedish torches work?

The Swedish torch burns using the chimney effect. The flame and hot air move upward inside the log while fresh air flows in from the bottom – this ensures continuous combustion.

There are two main types of Swedish torches:

  • Saw-cut torch – cross-sections are cut from the top down, resembling a sliced cake. Better suited for cooking or boiling water.
  • Drilled torch – two intersecting air holes ensure a strong flame. Better suited for heating and creating atmosphere.


Using Swedish Torches

A Swedish torch is easy to use: place it on a flat, fireproof surface, light it in the center, and let it burn. The burning time depends on the size of the log and the dryness of the wood, but generally, it lasts about 2 hours.

Features:

  • Easy to light, no need to carry fire starters, lighter fluid, etc. Just light the wick.
  • Compact and doesn’t take up much space in a bag or car.
  • Does not stain or release sawdust or wood chips. The torch is covered with a plastic wrap.
  • No need to carry separate firewood.
  • The flame is directed upwards – safer and more controllable than a traditional campfire.
  • Can be used for cooking – place a pan or kettle directly on the log.

Advantages

  • Efficiency – steady and long-lasting burn thanks to the chimney effect.
  • Versatility – suitable for heating, lighting, and cooking.
  • Atmosphere – creates a natural and visually striking fire experience.
  • Simplicity – no need to build a fire pit or use separate fuel.

Summary

A Swedish torch is a great alternative to a classic campfire – compact, easy to use, and impressive. It is ideal for hiking, camping, picnics, or just enjoying a cozy evening in the garden. You can choose between the saw-cut or drilled version depending on whether you prefer more light or stronger heat.

A Swedish torch is a simple and convenient solution when you want to enjoy the flame and warmth of a live fire.
