A torch has a fuel container with a reservoir and a top cover. The top cover defines a first wick passage, a first fill hole, and a guide slot. A fire bowl is positioned atop the fuel container and defines a second wick passage, a second fill hole, and a guide member. At least one open rotational position is allowed between the fuel container and fire bowl such that the first and second fill holes are aligned to allow fluid into the reservoir via the fill holes. At least one closed rotational position is allowed between the fuel container and the fire bowl such that the first and second fill holes are out of alignment substantially blocking fluid flow into or out of the reservoir via the fill holes.

1. A torch comprising: a fuel container having a reservoir and a top cover, the top cover defining a first wick passage, a first fill hole, and a guide slot;a fire bowl atop the fuel container, comprising a bottom portion, the fire bowl bottom portion defining a second wick passage, a second fill hole, and a guide member the fire bowl being rotatable on the fuel container; anda wick holder passing through the first and second wick passages;wherein the guide member fits into the guide slot to limit the degree of rotation between the fuel container and the fire bowl;wherein at least one open rotational position is allowed between the fuel container and fire bowl such that the first and second fill holes are aligned to allow fluid into the reservoir via the fill holes; andwherein at least one closed rotational position is allowed between the fuel container and the fire bowl such that the first and second fill holes are out of alignment substantially blocking fluid flow into or out of the reservoir via the fill holes. 2. The torch of claim 1, wherein the first and second fill holes are substantially the same size and the guide member and guide slot limit the rotation between the fire bowl and the top cover to a degree of rotation that is less than about three times an arc occupied by a fill hole. 3. The torch of claim 2, wherein the guide member and guide slot limit the degree of rotation between the fire bowl and the top cover to a degree of rotation about two times the size of the arc occupied by a fill hole. 4. The torch of claim 1, wherein the wick holder is fixed to the top cover of the reservoir and protrudes through the second wick passage into the fire bowl providing a lip on distal end thereof, the lip retaining a captive biasing member that biases the fire bowl to the top cover. 5. The torch of claim 1, wherein the fuel container is rigidly affixed to an outer shell. 6. The torch of claim 1, further comprising a captive form fitting lid having a contour cooperating with at least a portion of the flame bowl such that the lid may be used as a snuffer. 7. The torch of claim 6, further comprising at least one magnet attached to the lid that retains the lid against the fire bowl. 8. A torch comprising: a substantially hollow torch body having an opening on an end thereof;a fuel container having a reservoir and a top cover, the reservoir being disposed substantially within the hollow torch body and the top cover being rigidly affixed to the torch body proximate the opening therein; anda fire bowl having a bottom portion atop the top cover of the fuel container the fire bowl being rotatable on the fuel container;wherein a wick guide passing through the top cover of the fuel container and the bottom portion of the fire bowl; the fire bowl bottom portion and top cover each provide a fill hole such that the holes may be rotated into alignment by rotating the fire bowl, allowing for fluid communication into and out of the fuel reservoir and the holes may be rotated out of alignment to prevent fluid communication into and out of the fuel reservoir. 9. The torch of claim 8, wherein the top cover defines a guide slot and the fire bowl defines a guide member such that the guide member fits within the guide slot and restricts the degree of rotation allowed between the fire bowl and the top cover. 10. The torch of claim 8, further comprising a cap configured to fit the fire bowl to smoother flame and having at least one magnet for retaining the cap on the fire bowl. 11. The torch of claim 8, wherein the torch body is recessed proximate the opening thereof and the fire bowl occupies at least a portion of the recess. 12. The torch of claim 11, wherein the fire bowl defines a plurality of ventilation ports proximate the recess. 13. The torch of claim 8, wherein the wick holder is retained by the top cover of the reservoir and protrudes through the fire bowl. 14. The torch of claim 13, wherein the wick holder provides a lip on an end thereof terminating in the fire bowl, the lip retaining a biasing member that urges the fire bowl downward toward the top cover of the reservoir. 15. A torch comprising: a substantially hollow torch body having a round opening on a top thereof and having a toroidally defined recess relative to sides thereof around the top;a fuel container within the hollow torch body having a fuel container top that is affixed to the opening of the torch body, the fuel container top providing a concave surface with a lipped wick passage proximate a center thereof, and defining a first fill hole and a guide slot both located radially away from the center; anda fire bowl having a cooperating concave interior surface to substantially match the concave surface of the fuel container top, a conic edge that surrounds the recess defined in the torch body, a center wick passage, a second fill hole located radially away from the center wick passage, and a guide member located radially away from the center wick passage;wherein the lipped wick passage interfits with the center wick passage to allow rotation between the fuel container top and the fire bowl;wherein the first and second fill holes may be radially aligned to allow for fluid flow into and out of the fuel container, and may be radially misaligned to impede fluid flow into and out of the fuel container; andwherein a degree of rotation between the fire bowl and the fuel container top is limited by the distance the guide member travels within the guide slot. 16. The torch of claim 15, further comprising a wick holder traversing both wick passages and providing friction retention of a wick that passes from the fire bowl to an interior of the fuel container. 17. The torch of claim 16, wherein the wick holder is affixed to the fuel container top and a biasing member interposes the wick holder and the fire bowl, the biasing member urging the fire bowl against the fuel container top. 18. The torch of claim 15, wherein the fire bowl defines a flat shelf and receives a snuffer cap thereon. 19. The torch of claim 18, wherein the snuffer cap affixes to the flat shelf with at least one magnet. 20. The torch of claim 19, wherein the snuffer cap is tethered to the fire bowl. 21. The torch of claim 15, wherein the fire bowl defines a plurality of perforations to serve as ventilation of the torch body.
