Key features:

Patented venturi-effect flame — the glass housing draws air naturally to create a spiraling, dancing flame column
All-weather construction — engineered for permanent outdoor installation in all climates
Natural Gas or Liquid Propane — available in both fuel types; LP models include a regulator
Piezo or Electronic ignition — choose manual piezo for simplicity or the 24V AC Hot Shot electronic system for smart home and timer integration

Ignition Options: Piezo vs. Electronic (24V Hot Shot)

Choosing the right ignition system is one of the most important decisions when ordering a Tempest product. Here is a clear breakdown:

Feature	Piezo (Manual)	Electronic (24V AC Hot Shot)
How it works	Push-button spark ignition; no electricity required	24V AC transformer powers an automatic Hot Shot igniter
Power requirement	None — fully self-contained	Requires a 24V AC transformer (sold separately or included depending on configuration)
Smart home / timer compatible	No	Yes — can be wired to timers, smart switches, and home automation systems
Best for	Simple installs, remote locations without power, or budget-conscious buyers	Permanent installs where automated on/off control is desired
Available on	Tempest Torch, Tempest Lantern 20k	Tempest Torch, Tempest Lantern 20k

Important note on the 24V transformer: The electronic ignition system requires a 24V AC transformer. If your configuration does not include one, you will need to source a compatible transformer. Contact us before ordering and we will confirm exactly what is needed for your install.

Mount Types: Choosing the Right Installation

All Tempest models are available in four mount configurations. The right choice depends on your gas line routing and the surface you are mounting to:

In-Ground Mount — gas line runs underground and up through a buried post; ideal for lawn, garden, and driveway installations where no above-grade structure exists
Deck Mount — mounts to a deck surface with the gas line running below the decking; requires a deck penetration for the gas line
Pillar Mount — attaches to an existing masonry or concrete pillar; gas line is typically surface-run or concealed within the pillar
Wall Mount — brackets to a vertical wall surface; gas line runs along or through the wall

If you are unsure which mount is right for your project, contact us before ordering. Changing mount types after installation requires different hardware and may affect your gas line rough-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy a Tempest Torch or Tempest Lantern online?

Authorized Travis Industries dealers for the Tempest line include The Torch Guys (thetorchguys.com), AMS Fireplace, Authenteak, and Woodland Direct. Purchasing from an authorized dealer ensures you receive full 1-year manufacturer warranty coverage and genuine product support. We carry every Tempest configuration — Natural Gas and Liquid Propane, piezo and electronic ignition, and all four mount types.

How much does a Tempest Torch cost?

The Tempest Torch ranges from $1,150 to $2,636 depending on fuel type (Natural Gas or Liquid Propane), ignition type (piezo or electronic), and mount type (Pillar, In-Ground, Deck, or Wall). Electronic ignition and LP configurations carry a price premium. The Tempest Lantern 20k ranges from $1,526 to $2,794.

What is the difference between the Tempest Torch and the Tempest Lantern?

Both use Travis Industries' patented venturi-effect flame technology and tempered glass housing, but they have different form factors. The Tempest Torch has a tall, open cylindrical glass column that creates a dramatic vertical flame — ideal for pools, driveways, and event spaces. The Tempest Lantern has a traditional enclosed lantern design — better suited for gate posts, columns, and entryways where an architectural lantern aesthetic is desired.

What is the difference between piezo and electronic ignition on the Tempest?

Piezo ignition is a push-button manual spark system that requires no electricity — simple, reliable, and self-contained. Electronic ignition uses Travis Industries' 24V AC Hot Shot system, which requires a 24V AC transformer and allows the torch or lantern to be controlled by timers, smart switches, or home automation systems. If you want to automate your Tempest on a schedule or integrate it with a smart home system, electronic ignition is the right choice. If you want a simple, no-power-required install, piezo is the better option.

Does the Tempest Torch work with natural gas and propane?

Yes. The Tempest Torch and Tempest Lantern 20k are available in both Natural Gas and Liquid Propane configurations. LP models include a regulator. You must specify your fuel type at the time of order — the units are not field-convertible between NG and LP.

What mount type do I need for my Tempest Torch or Lantern?

The right mount depends on your gas line routing and installation surface. In-Ground is for lawn or driveway installs where the gas line runs underground. Deck is for deck surfaces where the line runs below the decking. Pillar attaches to an existing masonry or concrete column. Wall brackets to a vertical surface. If you are unsure, contact The Torch Guys before ordering — choosing the wrong mount requires different hardware and may affect your gas line rough-in.

Does the Tempest Torch come with a warranty?

Yes. Travis Industries provides a 1-year manufacturer warranty on all Tempest products when purchased through an authorized dealer. Purchasing from an unauthorized source may void this warranty. The Torch Guys is an authorized Travis Industries dealer, so every Tempest unit we sell is covered by the full manufacturer warranty.

Is the Tempest Torch good for Florida outdoor spaces?

Yes — the Tempest Torch and Lantern are among the most popular outdoor gas torches in Florida, where year-round outdoor living and pool/patio entertaining are common. The all-weather construction handles humidity and heat well, and the venturi-effect flame is more wind-resistant than open-flame alternatives. Natural Gas is the most common fuel choice for permanent Florida installs given the availability of NG service in most metro areas.
