Flame King Propane Torch Kit Heavy Duty Weed Burner, 500,000 BTU with Flint Striker, with 10-ft Hose Regulator Assembly

This is a large, powerful and relatively heavy-duty burner. It' is great for burning away large, stubborn weeds and undergrowth and it's fantastic at starting and sustaining bonfires in the garden. At full-blast the flame can extend two feet (60cm). I fix it to a 13kg propane cylinder and it can run for hours on the one tank. I wouldn't be without it with a large (sometimes hard-to-control) garden.

very powerful i give it 5 out of five

Es hecho en China. Demerita mucho en la calidad de los acabados y materiales.

Will work great for weeds, will not work on 4 inches of ice!!!

Ok here's the scoop for controlling weeds. Torching is more cost effective than sprays. Sprays can cost $45+ per bottle and will require multiple bottles/applications whereas a bbq propane tank costs $25 and will last 1.5-2 hours of full-throttle torching. Only use in non-grass, high weed areas, otherwise you'll kill the grass and not just the weeds. Make sure weed is placed a few inches below the bottom arc of the flame (where it's hottest) and run up and down the weed's leaves and stalk for about 3-5 seconds until the weed wilts and turns an opaque colour... no need to fully burn them. Works well to control weeds but takes a lot of patience for mature weeds, and will require follow-up treatments every 1-2 weeks, as the weeds will always start to regrow. This particular model is ideal because it has 500k BTU output (anything less is a waste of time), a 10' hose (anything less is a waste of time), no integrated electric start (which can actually fail after extensive use as it may deteriorate due to proximity of the starter to the flame), a long handle (shorter models will require awkward bending over to use), sturdy construction, and affordable price. Your arms will easily tire during use, so you'll need to switch arms throughout the torching process. Be careful not to get to close to overhead vegetation or nearby screendoors, etc. as they will burn from the indirect heat! Although the throttle lever cannot be locked in place this is for safety reasons on the off chance you lose control of the torch. I find the torch to be very safe to operate and only wear protective prescription eyeglasses... no need for protective gloves and clothing (albeit no harm in being extra careful if you prefer). Once mature weeds are torched (you'll need a grass trimmer to remove the dead stalks of large weeds a few days after torching), it becomes must easier to kill off small regrowth every 1-2 weeks. For faster results for larger weeds don't be afraid to increase the gas flow (you'll still get a good 1 hours worth of torching before needing a refill tank). Don't waste your money on smaller torches unless you are merely burning small weeds between patio stones, etc.

Good tool to get rid of weeds between stones on pavement. Previously I bout a variety of spray on liquids and weeds had grown back in less then 15 days. I have read a lot of ideas that did not work until I found an arborist website that recommended torching the weeds using a high BTU torch. I use it as soon as it was receive and enjoyed a summer weed free for the whole 2024 year. Some weeds came back in a few spots at beginning on October, and I have used the tool second time to get rid of them before the winter. I will highly recommend this tool to anyone that want to enjoy weed free on theirs stone paved patio.

This weed burner is awesome! Almost too much with 500,000 BTU, I could have gotten away with a less powerful one but go big or go home right!? Kills weeds! Makes the chore much more fun! works like a champ, just watch anything that could catch fire!
