Every detail of The Rock Torch is engineered for convenience and safety. From its adjustable flame to its secure locking mechanism, it's built to be your go-to tool. Here’s a breakdown of what makes it stand out.

• The torch is equipped with a child safety lock for secure handling.

Beyond its core function, The Rock Torch is packed with details that resonate with collectors and daily users alike. Its thoughtful design and official branding make it more than just a lighter—it's an experience.

Is This An Officially Licensed Grateful Dead Torch?

Yes, this is an officially licensed Grateful Dead product. You can be confident you are getting an authentic piece of memorabilia approved by the band's estate, complete with high-quality artwork and durable construction. Avoid knock-offs and add a genuine piece to your collection.

What Is A Piezo Ignition System?

Piezo ignition is a modern, reliable system that generates a spark when you press a button. It works by striking a small crystal, creating an electrical charge. This means no flints to replace and no batteries to charge, ensuring your torch lights up consistently with a simple click, time after time.

Does It Come With A Collector Tin?

Absolutely. Each Grateful Dead The Rock Torch comes packaged in a beautifully designed collector's tin. The tin features matching artwork, making it the perfect way to store your torch or display it as part of your Grateful Dead collection.

• This product is an officially licensed piece of Grateful Dead merchandise.
• The included collector's tin provides a safe and stylish storage solution.
• Piezo ignition ensures a reliable, battery-free spark for easy startups.

Refilling your torch is simple and safe when you follow the right steps. A proper refill prevents sputtering flames and fuel leaks, extending the life of your torch. Always work in a well-ventilated area away from any open flames or sparks.

Here is our 6-step process for a perfect refill:

1. Purge the Tank: Before filling, turn the torch upside down and use a small tool to press the inlet valve. This releases trapped air and any leftover fuel, which ensures a full, clean fill.
2. Set Flame to Low: Turn the flame adjustment dial to its lowest setting (-). This closes the valve and prevents butane from escaping during the refill.
3. Invert and Align: Turn the torch upside down and hold your butane can vertically above it. Align the can's nozzle with the torch's refill valve.
4. Fill in Bursts: Press the can down firmly for 5-7 seconds to fill the tank. Repeat in 2-3 short bursts rather than one long press to avoid overfilling.
5. Let It Rest: After filling, let the torch sit for at least 3-5 minutes. This allows the cold butane fuel to warm up and stabilize, which is crucial for a consistent flame.
6. Test and Adjust: Once rested, turn the flame adjuster back to a medium setting, point the torch away from your face, and ignite. Adjust the flame to your desired height.

What Kind Of Butane Should I Use For This Torch?

For the best performance and to prevent clogging, we strongly recommend using high-quality, multi-refined butane fuel (5x refined or higher). Cheaper, less-pure butane contains impurities that can clog the torch's jet and fuel lines over time, leading to inconsistent flames and ignition failure.

• Purging trapped air from the tank before refilling prevents sputtering.
• Using multi-refined butane (5x or higher) helps prevent clogging.
• Allowing the torch to rest for a few minutes after refilling is key for safety and performance.

What Are My Options For Butane Torches Under $50?

While The Rock Torch is a unique collector's item, it's helpful to see how it fits within the broader market. Here’s a quick comparison of popular butane torch types you might find in a similar price range, including compact picks like the Zico Torch.

• The Rock Torch is ideal for both dabbing use cases and as a collector's item.
• It offers a balance of performance and unique design not found in standard torches.

Proper care ensures your Grateful Dead torch performs flawlessly for years. The most important maintenance step is using clean, high-purity butane. Beyond that, occasionally wiping down the nozzle and exterior with a soft cloth will keep the artwork looking vibrant and the ignition system clear of debris.

Why Is My Torch Sputtering Or Not Lighting?

A sputtering flame or failure to ignite is almost always caused by one of two things: trapped air in the tank or a clogged jet. If it happens right after a refill, purge the tank and refill it again. If the problem persists, the jet may be clogged with impurities from low-quality butane. A quick burst of compressed air into the nozzle (while the torch is off and cool) can sometimes clear minor blockages.

• A sputtering flame is often caused by trapped air in the fuel tank.
• Using butane that is less than 5x refined can lead to clogged jets.
• Regular purging and cleaning will significantly extend the torch's lifespan.

Handling a butane torch requires care. Follow this checklist every time to ensure safe and effective operation.
