Know before you buy
To protect the glass and simplify cleanup, place a thin layer of salt or sand at the bottom of the hurricane before inserting your candle. This prevents wax from sticking directly to the glass base.
Yes, the hurricane is versatile enough to be used as a decorative vessel for fresh flowers or greenery, making it a functional centerpiece beyond just candle lighting.
The iron base should be cleaned only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as moisture can compromise the finish of the cast iron.
No, the Torreon hurricane is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the wax cast iron finish.
This piece is perfectly sized for standard tea lights and votives. Given its 5-inch width, these smaller candle types provide the best proportion for the glass vessel.
