Camp Torch - A Modular Propane Torch on a Folding Tripod

They say camping gear spends 51 weeks of the year in the garage. Camp Torch was made for camping by three friends in Boise, Idaho, but apparently it ended up settling onto home patios and backyards. What caught my eye is that it gives you a campfire-style flame from propane, with no firewood needed.

🔍 Why It Caught My Attention

Splitting the flame into "modules"

The torch head, tripod and poles all come apart. It looks like you could set it up tall at the campsite and keep it low at home.

No smoke, no ash

I love the romance of a campfire, but the smoky smell and the cleanup are a hassle. The appeal here is that a propane flame has almost none of that burden.

Polished design

The combination of a black perforated screen with a copper-colored knob looks surprisingly clean for camping gear. It seems like it would fit in a backyard too.


🤔 What Gives Me Pause

Price and where to buy

I couldn't confirm the official price or whether it ships overseas. It's quite likely not an easy product to buy in Korea.

Safety and regulations

A propane flame is strongly affected by wind and its surroundings. Open-flame rules vary from campsite to campsite in Korea, so you'd need to check where it can be used first.

Bulk and weight

Once you pack the tripod, poles and bag, it isn't backpacking gear. It seems better suited to camping where you travel by car.


📋 Product Features (Subjective Ratings)

  • Design: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Portability: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆
  • Practicality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
  • Value for money: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (price unconfirmed)

🛒 Before You Buy

✅ Recommended for

  • People who want an easy fireside vibe while car camping or auto camping
  • People looking for gear that also works in a backyard or on a balcony

❌ Not recommended for

  • People who need to cut down on weight, like backpackers
  • People who mostly go to campsites that restrict open flames

🎯 Final Verdict

It keeps the atmosphere of a wood fire while taking away the hassle. I like the modular structure and the clean design.

That said, the price, where to buy it, and Korean open-flame regulations still need checking. Once those are sorted out, it's worth a second look as car-camping gear.
