Gas Blowtorch Garden Weed Burner

Product Information

As mentioned, the handle ergonomics aren’t great and there are some components which feel a little low in quality. Make sure to leave it somewhere secure after use – not lying around where the kids might find it – and let it cool down completely before storing.

It has an impressive maximum temperature of 1870°C, so it’ll have no trouble tackling most garden weeds! Firstly, to receive a good rating, the design had to be up to scratch, and the burner needed to be safe, easy to use, and effective. Plus, I am totally confused by the ‘cable safety hook’ which is a plastic hook on the handle that you’re supposed to wrap the cord into. If you don’t want to mess around with fuel canisters, choose an electric weed burner with a maximum temperature of 600 – 700 ° C.However, if you have the patience and wrist strength, it’s worth it for the power and adaptability that it brings to the garden. This means that there is also no tripping hazard as there would be with a mains-powered burner, and no chance of accidentally burning through a cable. Suitable for destroying weeds from stone outcrops, kerbs, pavements, stone pathways, concrete driveways etc. Designed to destroy weeds without the need of toxic chemicals, this set provides intense heat that destroys weeds from the inside out. For a weed burner to be truly right for you, I asked myself the following questions: Is it designed well?

When fired up, this gas burner runs extremely hot: it has an almost unbelievable output of 1300°C which is more than double the heat of electric weed burners. As mentioned, it’s lightweight enough to use with one hand, so I could use my other hand to keep the cable away.

There are a couple of downsides to this weed burner’s design as well: the cable measures 160 cm which is way too short. Microorganisms and microbes in the soil help in soil aeration, nutrient creation, and nitrogen fixation. Plus, the kickstand (which keeps the hot end from touching the ground during cool down) feels flimsy. It has an ergonomic handle which is comfortable to hold for long periods of time, as well as a piezo ignition system that makes it easy to light (although it’s worth noting that some users found this broke down over time). There’s no indication that the burner is cool enough to touch (although most burners don’t have a way to show this).
