A {{i|Torch}} is a [[Tools|Tool]] which can be held in either the right or left hand slot and is also an [[Fire#Ignitable Items|Ignitable Item]]. A Torch is also a [[Fire#Secondary Sources of Fire|Secondary Source of Fire]], so structures such as a {{i|Fireplace}} can be lit from it. To light a {{PAGENAME}} right-click it on a source of {{i|Fire}} or equip it and right-click {{i|Flint & Steel}} or a {{i|Tinder Drill}} on it. To light things from a {{PAGENAME}} right-click it onto an Ignitable Structure or Item. A Torch will remain lit so long as it is equipped or while being held by your cursor, moving it to your Inventory will cause it to be immediately extinguished. Lighting a Torch immediately consumes 7% of it's max fuel, so any Torch with less than 8% of fuel cannot be lit. A fully fueled Torch will burn through all its fuel after about 30 minutes. If a Torch runs out of fuel it isn't destroyed, but will need to be refueled. A Torch can be refueled at any time by selecting {{i|Any Tinder}} and right-clicking it onto the Torch. Each lit Torch you hold will increase your Thermal by 50x points and will raise your Body [[Temperature]] and helps prevent {{i|Hypothermia}}. A {{PAGENAME}} can be carried in a [[Waist#Toolbelts|Toolbelt]], or stored in a {{i|Wooden Toolbox}}.

[[Torch]]es can be held in the hand and are primarily used as a fire source.<br/>
 
  
While equipped, a torch can be lit by using it on a burning [[Fireplace]], [[Pile of Wood]], or [[Stove]] or by using a [[Tinder Drill]] or [[Flint & Steel]] on it.  It can then be used to lit any object that require fire, and does so even faster than flint & steel.  A torch will only remain lit while being held by your cursor, or while in an equipment slot; Placing it into your inventory, a container slot, or dropping it will extinguish the torch.

*Lighting a torch consumes 7% of it's max fuel instantly, and a torch with less than 8% fuel remaining cannot be lit.
 
*Using tinder on the torch supplies it with 16% fuel.
 
*A full [[torch]] burns for about 30 minutes before going out.<br/>
 
*If players keep a [[fireplace]] or [[stove]] lit through their play sessions, the torch is one of the quickest, cheapest ways to light ovens, smelters, kilns, etc. (this is particularly easy to do with a [[stove]], as a full stove will burn for 12 hours)
 
*A useful trick for hermits fed up with the inconsistency and Phlegm costs of starting fires with tinder drills may consider lighting his or her torch and equipping it before logging off, and reigniting all fires as soon as he or she logs back on. Bear in mind that you must keep a fire burning throughout the day to light your torch again at night, unless you can get an alt to specifically designate as a "torch alt," who can keep the torch constantly equipped.
