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

30' hose, interesting. I never thought of that cart option.

I start charcoal, our wood fired oven and wood fired cooker with a weed burner. It gets it all going at once and saves a ton of time. Not to mention the cool factor.

It'll be nice for winter brush pile burning.

No doubt weed torches can prove beneficial

Does anyone use weed torches this time of year? I have some annoying weeds around the homestead. 'Am thinking about burning the seed heads yet this winter.

A couple weeks ago I torched a bunch of seed heads. I was surprised to see some seed pods yet that I blasted. I would have thought they'd drop on their own by now.

Tomorrow I'm planning to burn a brush pile & am anxious to use the weed torch to start it.

There are organic farmers who have built tractor mounted or motoroized propane weed burners on row crops and or larger garden areas. I am sure there are other fuels and designs. I know there are some companies that sell larger scale burners instead of the single torch like ones discussed above.

Anyone use the extended wand 1# propane tank torches....Probably no good for heavy use but for spot burning easier than the handheld torches....?

I see Amazon has some for about 20 bucks

the end of mine was the hose isn't particularly UV resistant and it cracked in like 2 years and started leaking.

a 25 foot hose of good rubber would have been a good upgrade set the tank down and work for a bit then pick it up

I went away from weed burning in the garden and fence and never got a second one.

also not a bad idea to keep a hose handy , I might have lit part of my garden on fire once



lol I thought I was.going to burn off a section of field. I mowed around the area I wanted about 20 feet for a break then went to the end the wind was blowing to so the fire was fighting the wind. the plan was to burn off about 20' afor a nice break then light it up on the other end and let it burn with the wind feeding it tell it hit the burn out area
Plan was working great tell the wing changed direction and picked up. by the time I got it out I didn't have any arm hair, eye lashes, and was read like I was sun burnt.

Time before that I was burning off a fence line. Thought I got a hot ash in my eye keep working about 30. finally went back to the house and found I has something black in my eye. it would move but only a little and stayed in one spot. A closer look showed it was an ant and it was stuck becues it bit onto my eye ball before it died. I thought about going to the eye Dr but finally just grabbed it with tweezers taking some eye tissue with it bit got it out.

I guess, basically a hand torch with a long tube head, with a handle instead of holding the tank....
