Red Dragon
Overall the Red Dragon does the job. What it could have to make handling easier would be a hand grip with perhaps a trigger.
Fun to use but weeds are tough little buggers
Even though this torch is fun to use, the weeds resist the flame much better than they resist chemical treatment (Roundup). I've found that a week later the same weeds are growing back, even when I burn them to ash. The best way to use this torch is in conjunction with a good line trimmer. You'll be using lots of gas if you don't cut the weeds down first. I'll keep burning them and see if eventually they just give up and die for good but so far it does not look promising.
Sort of works - but no faster than weeding by hand
It only works in areas where you only have weeds (as fire could kill other less sturdy plants) and where it is not easy to start a fire (need to be careful about it - may want to use it after it rained.
Also, don't think it is fast (takes as long as weeding by hand)or that it kills all weeds. Basically you need to flame the weeds, wait a week and finish the job by weeding by hand. I personally prefer then weeding by hand and remove the roots rather than just weakening.
Hot Stuff!
I bought this higher BTU torch because it seemed to be a better value than the lower rated ones. It's power is impressive. I rarely open the valve all the way. When I do, it sounds like the NASA test range. The heat is plenty for the toughest jobs. I had a 4" slab of ice in my parking area this winter and was able to carve a drainage trench in it pretty quickly. Still, the propane consumption seemed very reasonable.
