Gas Blowtorch Garden Weed Burner

Product Information

Leider erwies sich die Aussage, dass die zum Betrieb des Gerätes notwendigen Gaskartuschen in Baumärkten erhältlich sind, als nicht zutreffend. As mentioned, it’s lightweight enough to use with one hand, so I could use my other hand to keep the cable away. In terms of weight, this burner is light enough to hover easily above weeds although I did need a second hand to keep the extension pole steady. In terms of weight, it’s lighter than the Parklands, Tooltronix and URBN GARDEN electric weed burners, so I’d recommend it if you struggle with heavy garden tools.

It’s also possible to find burners with longer cables, commonly around 5 metres, but an extension cable might still be needed.While this model does cost more than other burners on the market, it’s sturdy and good quality, with a hardened propane hose that won’t swell nor break.

Producing a large amount of heat in a concentrated area, they can be held directly over the offending weeds, burning them and killing them off.However, if you have the patience and wrist strength, it’s worth it for the power and adaptability that it brings to the garden. At just under 2 kg, it’s pretty lightweight, but I also found it very well balanced, with aids control.

However, I quickly worked out the ‘knack’, and my tip is to press harder than you think whilst gently twisting at the same time. When the cells in the stem are destroyed, the stem is not able to carry nutrients to the rest of the plant. Suitable for destroying weeds from stone outcrops, kerbs, pavements, stone pathways, concrete driveways etc. I found the handle fairly comfortable to hold, while the size of the flame can be easily controlled using the dial. The ventilation holes in the weed burning nozzle and the BBQ lighter nozzle should be cleaned regularly (when it’s cool!The range includes both propane and butane gas torches from leading brands, as well as a wide choice of accessories for every task. It takes 45 seconds to heat up, so it’s not instantaneous, but when it was hot enough I found that it wilted the weeds and didn’t scorch my brickwork or grass which was a very welcome outcome. If you only want to treat weeds once, gas-powered weed burners are the most powerful and effective .

I bought a bayonet to screw adapter to use the cans of gas purchased with this weed burner to use with an old Parasene weed burner. The gas canisters last longer than I would have expected so, although it's difficult to make precise comparisons, I'd guess it costs about the same as using a chemical weedkiller. One slight downside is that some residual gas always seems to remain in the pipe after you’ve removed the butane cannister, so be sure to burn that off and let it all cool down before storing.Whilst this electric weed burner clearly damaged the weed on its first use, it didn’t kill it off completely. They do still get extremely hot, often reaching temperatures of 600°C or more, so need to be used with care. In this weed burner review, I thoroughly compared design, ease of use, effectiveness, safety and value for money for multiple products.
