    Thought Id share this with the group. My wife found a creative use for some of my used beer bottles.
    She has turned them into citronella torches. Great Idea for fathers day. Gives me a reason to drink more
    beer.

    Not sure where that Miller came from !

    I feel sorry for the one that got the Miller Lite bottle.

    Must have got that from her sister.

    I'd be afraid someone would knock a bunch over and they'd all become moltov cocktails. But definitely a neat idea.

    They are actually weighted. She's pretty clever like that

    The wick is in the wrong end of the Miller Lite bottle.

    Very cool. I hope you don't mind if I copy the idea. How did she weigh them down? I might simply glue them to some kind of base, I would be the first guy to knock one over.

    @Ravenclaws She don't mind, She just fills about 1/3 of the bottle with gravel or colored stones of some sort. and then takes a Copper 1/2-3/8 reducer and wraps the larger end with a little teflon tape so its snug & slides that into the bottle and then she fills with citronella and you just slide the wick in. She does it with Wine & Booze Bottles too.
