Hello viney,
For $5 per torch, I am afraid your only choices are bamboo tiki
torches or citronella candles. Burn time was difficult to determine,
as most sites did not offer that information. Seems burn time varies
on style and whether you use candles or burn oil. Here is what I found
regarding burn times:
This site says that ?A single 12 ounce filling of citronella or lamp
oil lights an entire evening (over 9 hours).?

This 5 ¼ ? tiki candle burns for about 3 hours.
http://www.islandmadness.com/im_candles3.html
This site claims their citronella torch ?burns for hours?. They also
have a set of 48 torches for $120.00

I have found a few each of the tiki and citronella styles:
$177 ($3.86 each) for 48 56? tiki candle torches

$12.99 for set of 3, 32? Bamboo tiki torches

Not torches, but perhaps may be considered as an alternative:

Check ebay periodically:

Finally, if you have any ?Dollar Stores? or ?99¢" stores, or import
stores such as Cost Plus or Pier One, you might find torches and/or
lawn candles there, and save on shipping!
