Greenwood 91033 Propane Torch by Greenwood

It would definitely be worth it to get the model with an ignitor built in... but super easy to use still while manually lighting. I had dead grass all throughout the giant pit of rocks that is my front yard. I had already spent many hours pulling it out by hand, but it only took me about 2 and a half hours total to burn it all out with this attachment. It screws in to the inside threads on a standard propane bottle and a wrench is included. These threads are reversed, so you turn counter-clockwise to tighten! I will be using it again today to burn out my disgrace of a back lawn to reseed with grass/clover.

Used to burn yard brush (even when green and wet).

It works good .. I just wish it was little longer .. I’m 6’2 and had to hunch over Using it .. did kill weeds good .. just don’t get to close to bushes and trees ..

Well, I’ve pondered getting one of these for a while and did a ton of research. I chose this one and I’m pretty happy with it. Super easy to use, super hot, and super fun! This will knock down weeds almost instantly! Keep in mind, be very careful with this as it’s easy to set anything a blaze. I love using this as my fire pit starter! Set up the fire and point this at it for about 30 seconds and BOOM! Fire started. I read this is great to sear steaks as well. Haven’t tried yet but definitely see how this would be effective.

The previous owner of my house improperly installed a brick patio, and weeds grow like crazy through the cracks. I used a pressure washer, but that was messy, and using a weed wacker takes too much time. On top of that, the weeds just grow right back in a week or so, depending on rainfall. When I saw this torch, I did some research, and found out that weeds don’t grow back as quick when burned (it does something to the cellular structure). Why not, right? Attaching the hose to the propane tank was straightforward, once I figured that it was reversed threading. Then you just open the valve on the tank, open the valve on the torch a bit, light it, and WHOOSH! After you adjust the flame, you’re good to go. It’s not only fun, it’s loud when you squeeze the trigger to really give to those stubborn weeds. You won’t be able to have a normal volume conversation when you use this while squeezing the trigger, but not hearing protection type of loud. The only thing I have an issue with is the length of the wand. I’m 6’ tall, and have to bend over just slightly to get close to the weeds. The length of the hose is just enough to be away from the propane tank, but not so long that it’s cumbersome. I would suggest getting something to be able to transport the propane tank on, if you have a large property. However, if your property isn’t very large, picking up the tank to move it around isn’t too bad. Just be careful that there isn’t a lot of dry debris around, and definitely stay a good amount of space from your house or storage unit when using this. I used it a couple of weeks ago, and very few weeds have spouted back up. I would definitely recommend this torch!

Torch works well. However, the length of the handle section is too short. You have to bend over to torch weeds. Very tiring. Distance from handle to torch needs to be longer.

So much better than pulling out weeds by hand!

This thing has no regulator, it delivers full tank pressure to the flame when the trigger is depressed. It shoots out a HUGE flame that immediately incinerates the edges of the plant in question. After a couple of shots, it blows itself out. It's also loud, and between the blast and the fire I fear it would draw a lot of negative attention, even if it stayed lit. One star. I am returning it.
