OK with qualifications
The tool works as advertised and is easy to use. However, for weed removal it is not entirely effective for existing weeds. To be fair, the documentation indicates that new weeds are manageable but for established weeds it may take several attempts. I found that I had to employ alternative methods to remove established weeds. It is, without doubt, best suited for removing new weeds from walkways, gravel paths, etc. As for fence lines it depends on what the surrounding environment is like and, as suggested in the guide, keep a fire extinguisher and water hose handy.

Made in the USA !
This torch works great. I took a chance and ordered it hoping it wasn't imported and I was pleased to see both the torch and it's included flint igniter are made right here in America.

I was able to kill the weeds along 200' of sidewalk and stone wall in less than 1/2 hour. Results are as good as chemical herbicides, and you don't have the cramping hand ache from trying to spend that much time with a spray bottle. Works best if you flame weeds right after a rain, they are full of water and easier to kill and you start fewer fires around leaves or other debris.

Wilting weeds and stomping on the few small fires that start are much more fun than you might expect.

Of course it's an open flame, so engage your brain before waving it around. Properly adjusted the flame is hard to see in daylight, and heat can damage nearby plants that don't seem close enough to be harmed. A metal snow shovel is useful if you want to flame weeds around cultivated shrubs or plants. You can use the metal shovel to reliably shield desirable plants from the heat. Be aware that any paint on your shovel might not be there when you're done (and I wouldn't try it with a plastic shovel).

I'm pleased with this tool, and I'm sure it will do a good job getting the charcoal started in the barbeque and melting winter ice too.

How about it Amazon, can you try to include location of manufacture in more item descriptions? Many times I pass over a purchase because I don't want to end up with something made overseas and can't tell from the description.

Highly satisfied!
I purchased the 100,000 BTU Weed Dragon Torch for myself, and another for my brother who has a 100-acre farm. The torch is solidly constructed, lights easily, and puts out an intensely hot flame. Its uses are limited by one's imagination.

Weed Dragon Torch
Flame Engineering's Weed Dragon Garden Torck works as advertised. Does kill those weeds dead when nothing else would. We live on a river and try to keep use of chemicals down to a minimum as we want to keep the river free of pollutants and other harmfull matter.

A great multi-purpose torch
I purchased another torch through Amazon. My original one lasted almost 20 years. I searched the local hardware stores, but they only had Chinese knockoffs. I use the torch to clean up weeds around patio stones, gardens, and along my rural driveway. The torch also works great for starting my Weber charcoal BBQ. You can avoid using the charcoal lighter fluid, PLUS it starts the coals quickly and cleanly.

The torch uses your own refillable 20 lb propane tank to save you money and waste. If you should need replacement O rings in the future, you can get them at your local propane or hardware store.
