Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bernzomatic 19425 JT850 Self-Igniting 20,000 BTU Outdoor TorchCustomer Review: Burn Baby Burn! Summary: 4 Stars
If you have cracks in your sidewalk, brick retaining walls, driveway, you name it, you've got weeds growing through them. You can spray Roundup and ... wait ... and wait ... and disperse poisons into the air ... and then when the weeds have finally died (if you're lucky) go around and pull out all the weed carcasses. OR - you can cackle with glee as you torch them with the Bernzomatic Weed Torch and watch the ashes blow away in the wind. Cackle as passerby stop and watch in wonderment and amazement; as people stop their cars and ask you where you got this most wondermous garden tool. Admittedly, larger weeds take a bit of torching to vaporize, but smaller ones go up in a puff. And instead of waiting for days and days to end up with dead weed carcasses everywhere, you end up with ashes and soot you can spray away with your garden hose. Instant gratification in oh so many ways: weeds gone within minutes instead of days; using deadly fire force on the accursed things; meeting all your neighbors and instilling a wee bit of healthy fear in them (don't tell them where you got the weed torch unless you're sure they have an I.Q. above 100 and don't live within house-fire-spreading distance of you); and if it's a bit nippy outside, you're toasty warm while you weed. Make sure to keep a big bucket or pitcher of water handy to put out stray flames, and use a MAPP canister instead of propane cuz' it's much hotter and does a faster job. The small size of this tool doesn't allow for a large canister to be easily attached (I guess you could with a hose and so on), so one canister is not going to last you a hugely long time - it took me two MAPP canisters to get through a retaining wall, front and back concrete walks, and my cracked concrete driveway. BUT it is guaranteed to be the most fun you will ever have weeding. Not to mention that if you have responsible teens in the house that you have trouble motivating to do yard work, they will jump at the chance to brandish the Weed Torch and eliminate every single solitary weed they see growing through the tiniest of cracks. The flame is rather large, so you can't use it too close to other plants and it will set mulch on fire (wet it first), and trust me when I tell you it will melt vinyl siding ...
I'd give this a 5 star rating if it blasted the weeds faster ... but for what it is, it works perfectly and is, well, fun as the dickens. Also works great to clear sidewalks and driveways in the wintertime instead of using chemicals, and lights up my barbeque pit coals like nobody's business.
It's the greenest, most environmentally friendly way to weed you can find.
