Flame King Propane Torch Kit Heavy Duty Weed Burner, 340,000 BTU with Piezo Igniter (Self Igniting), with 10-ft Hose for Weed Burning, Melting Ice and Snow, and Roofing

I was looking for a way to rid the back lot of weeds without spending a ton of money on weed killer and risking long term affects of harsh chemicals for both the family and the pets. This torch seemed worth a try, and ended up working out very well. I like the ability to adjust the flame, and have had no issues with the pilot flame going out, even on higher wind/breezy days. The hose is a very good length to connect to a 20lb propane cylinder and keep the tank at a safe distance from the area being torched. I chose Flame King as it is a known brand, and when it comes to potential burn dangers its best to stick with what is known and not cheap out. Although at the time of purchase I thought the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!

I will never be without one of these again. This is a game changer for melting ice and snow in slick places. My driveway is cleared and my sidewalk is free of ice and snow. It is a slower process but it works amazing. Functions perfectly. Lightweight but the propane to attaching is horribly heavy - still a great tool to have. Instructions are easy to read and simple. Fits onto my propane tank easy. Very good item.

Impressive. I had my doubts when I purchased it but I have been very satisfied with it functionality. It is effective in killing weeds on my patio. They have not returned, even months later. The fuel consumption is reasonable. I'm a 61 year old female and do not find the weight to be too heavy. I do wish the wand was a bit longer as it does require some bending at the waist/back. I used it to kill weeds along the road/sidewalk but you need to be careful as it is hot enough to melt asphalt. I really only use in on my brick patio and landscape areas that have a pebble rock base. Not for mulch areas.

Although this just arrived today I was anxious to unpack and assemble it since we have a considerable amount of ice on some of our walkways. I properly hooked it up to my propane source and began experimenting with some of the worst ice. The force of the blast of flame was quite strong and I was able to clear a fair amount of the ice from one of my walks. The thicker the ice the longer it will take to clear it. Keep in mind that if the temperature is extremely cold you will run the risk of it refreezing. Luckily, at the time of my usage, it was in the mid thirties most of the day and the water had pretty mush evaporated. One thing to note is that the flame is VERY HOT and if you hold it too close to your work it will blast backwards a bit and char the metal flame opening. I kind of wish the propane feed hose was a bit longer to enable the user to walk further away from the tank without having to pick it up so often.

works very well

This is easy to use and worked great for about a year. Piezo went out and contacted manufacturer and they took care of it immediately. Highly recommend due to manufacturer care and easy use of product

Fun to use, and useful on weeds

It's so satisfying watching the tips of the thorns burn bright red, then disappear! Seriously, it's as close to a real flamethrower you want to get. Unfortunately it quit after 2 weeks of serious brush removal, so only a 4 star rating. I have bull briar vines and wild grape on top of the downed trees from 3 hurricanes that blasted us a while back, (yes I'm in that part of Florida). If you don't have heavy equipment, you have to hack and burn your way through the flesh eating foliage that grows almost overnight here, in order to even get access to the logs with a chainsaw and a winch, for removal. It worked like a champ until it started an ignite,1 second blast, then shutoff cycle. The manufacturer was willing to replace it if Amazon wouldn't, but Amazon was good about refunding as they didn't want a used incendiary device mailed back, so I'm ordering another, same model. Yes I liked it that much! Hope the regulator/valve on the next one lasts forever! It's also perfect for quick starts on charcoal briquets (no oily tasting barbecue) and it starts log fires with minimal kindling. P.S. some have had success overcoming the regulator issue by barely opening the tank valve, thus reducing the pressure, but the built in regulator should be able to handle regular tank pressure variations, so I hope I just got a lemon.

Awesome product kills weeds for the whole season around my flagstones and patio stones, get the 10 gallon tank with it for easier mobility but not necessary if you don’t want too, can always use your bbq 20 gallon tank, do yourself a favor and stop the weed madness and chemicals

Well good

Works every time I've had no problem

Works great

Flames come out of top and burn igniter.
