This gas weed burner fired out immediate, blazing heat which completely burned away nearly all of the oxalis, dandelions, weeds and moss I applied it to, even when holding it above 15 cm. A crucial element of safety was having enough power to complete most tasks (100,000 BTU and above) while still having full control over the flame.

The URBN GARDEN 3-in-1 Electric Weed Burner is marketed as a multi-functioning tool and comes with an array of nozzle heads which certainly seem impressive. While not the most advanced weed burner on the market, it throws out a decent flame and remains pretty controllable.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). With this handy Weed Burner, the weeds' internal cells are destroyed by the intensive heat, causing them to wither and die within 24-48 hours and leaves your garden safe for kids and pets immediately after use. This fantastic tool works by subjecting the weeds in your garden to very high temperatures (up to 1000°C) which actively damages the cells of the plants.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It has an impressive maximum temperature of 1870°C, so it’ll have no trouble tackling most garden weeds! As mentioned, using the extension cable is a tripping hazard, but at least the 5 metre cable gives you a bit more scope. I can use this with an almost empty bottle to light the gas from the Gas Blowtorch Garden Weed Burner.The roots still seem to be living, as they’re still quite green, so at least another burn will be required to get rid of them. This means this TooltTronix weed burner is slightly cooler than the Urban Garden and Parklands burners by 50°C. There’s a 3 m hose included, so you’ve got a fair amount of freedom to move around your patio, eliminating weeds as you go. It measures 97 x 9 x 8 cm which makes it slightly shorter than the Parklands and URBN GARDEN electric weed burners, but longer than the Green Habitats gas burner. It takes 45 seconds to heat up, so it’s not instantaneous, but when it was hot enough I found that it wilted the weeds and didn’t scorch my brickwork or grass which was a very welcome outcome.

An extremely effective and ecological gas burner for burning weeds in the garden and in the urban area, e. Even if your garden is mostly patio, weeds can still rear their ugly heads between the slabs and ruin its neat appearance. There are two main styles when it comes to weed burners: gas-powered burners and mains-powered burners.

A gas blow torch is better when a strong naked flame is needed for any bigger melting, soldering or joining jobs. It’s also possible to find burners with longer cables, commonly around 5 metres, but an extension cable might still be needed.
