What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this torch for eliminating weeds without chemicals, highlighting its effectiveness in driveway cracks and sidewalks while eliminating bending and spraying. Many appreciate the lightweight, ergonomic design and push-button ignition, noting it's simple to operate and versatile for grills, campfires, and moss removal. However, a notable group reports the igniter fails after limited use, with flames extinguishing when the torch heats up and requiring cooling to relight. Some mention weak power output and short fuel runtime. Despite these issues, most customers consider it highly effective for small-scale weed control.

Would RecommendMuch easier than pulling weeds by hand or using chemicals. The only shortcoming is it will only run about 5 minutes. Once it gets hot it doesn't want to stay lit. I'm not sure what physics happens but when it gets hot you need to turn it off, wait for it to cool before using again or it keeps going out as soon as you light it. I've tried adjusting the gas flow up and down once it's hot but no luck, it just lights, burns for a second, then goes out once it's hot.

Used to light stubborn woodstove
Would RecommendI have a woodstove with a terrible downdraft when not lit. This weed burner does the trick to heat the flue and get the draft going prior to lighting the fire. Used frequently for several seasons it has held up well.
