I've got one just like this and love it.works good for ice removal also.

Weed torches help kill ant mounds too

Garlic mustard might be too far along for the season to kill wih heat

If you have any advice for a backpack for a 5 lb lp cylinder, let me know.

I upgraded

This is what ya need for weed control ! Lol

I'm thinking of getting a bigger 1, but not that 1, ha.

I've used a Red Dragon weed burner with a 20lb bottle a lot to burn CRP and pastures, but never to actually burn weeds. Might need to try that.

I have no experience. I do have a new property with a bunch of poison ivy mixed in with the other weeds. Is it safe to burn that stuff?

Don't burn poison ivy, the smoke if inhaled will make you a hurting pup!

Question for you pyromaniacs. Small weeds an inch or two tall do you actually burn them completely or can you just scorch them?

Thanks

nope just blanch them

so liek greens turn dark green when dropped in boiling water

you run the torch over a weed and it turns darker in seconds , you are boiling the water in the leaf
then you give it some time and it dies and turns brown.
it is a wave of the torch in most cases to wilt the small stuff.

you only need to harm the cell structure to make it stop photosynthesis

they used to use steam back in the day , a steamer on a wagon and a hose and a rake like steam head
drag that through the soil and it killed the little weeds and many insects

Anyone use this on small buckthorn or berry canes?

I'm fighting both, plus weeds in a section of my gravel driveway.

I'm definitely getting one of the HF models.

Thank YOU Sir!!

one of the reasons not to get the HF is a short hose
the weed dragon costs more but you get 10 feet of hose.

if your working on a 20# tank setting the tank down and working an area with a longer hose is nice
25 feet of hose would be really nice set up the tank in a wagon or cart. and work a good area then move.

I'll just run the HF with a 5# or 11# LP tank. I don't have much do.

yup I just bought a 5# they are the same price as a 20# tank but handy.

The only thing I have found to control goats head is a torch in the spring, until you till the ground then you need it again !!

I use a five gallon tank with a 30 foot hose tank is put on a hand truck to roll around when need it and the torch is a regular long shot, which is adjustable, works great !!

I've found you only need to hit the leaves until they curl and it's enough to kill the plants !!

I am using a lighter tonight.....
