The gas canister has a bayonet fitting and it clips into place, you twist the knob to allow gas into the pipe, and press the ignition straight away. The ToolTronix electric weed burner clearly affected the health of the weeds, but didn’t get rid of them completely. I’d also like more cable length, which is something that is offered by the Parkland and Urban Garden electric weed burners.

The cylinder lock prevents leaks, while the flame can be easily adjusted to suit the size of weed you are tackling. Thousands of plants, planters, awnings, garden furniture sets, water features and more line our digital shelves, and we're ready to fill your garden with comfort, quality, colour and style.Burning fuel also causes fumes and releases greenhouse gases, making gas burners less environmentally friendly than their mains-powered counterparts. Other features that made burners easier to use were being cordless, having a 3 m hose or longer, and being compatible with a range of gas canisters. The Green Habitats Weed Burner is a gas propane weed burner and it’s capable of getting extremely hot.

As mentioned, the handle ergonomics aren’t great and there are some components which feel a little low in quality. 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. This was the same with all of the electric weed burners I tested, but at least a longer cable meant I wasn’t so tethered to the extension port.A garden weed burner provides a more eco-friendly way of destroying unwanted vegetation in your garden. The carefully designed fitting point for the gas bottle is crafted from metal, and is certified with CE approval to offer you the highest possible assurance for peace of mind. The device is comfortable and flexible to use thanks to its 5-m-long cable, its total length of 85cm and the gas control valve. I sensed he was experiencing that same sort of caveman/fire-loving connection that often draws men to a BBQ.

It takes 45 seconds to heat up which is similar to other electric burners, and you hold the nozzle over the weed for up to 10 seconds.Plus, the kickstand (which keeps the hot end from touching the ground during cool down) feels flimsy. Each weed only needs a few seconds of exposure to the heat to be killed, making this process far more economical than traditional weed killers.

When the cells in the stem are destroyed, the stem is not able to carry nutrients to the rest of the plant. I bought this in the expectation that it was a bit of a gimmick and probably wouldn't work too well. There’s no indication that the burner is cool enough to touch (although most burners don’t have a way to show this). It is indicated in terms of BTU (British thermal unit) in gas weed burners and W (watts) for an electric garden weed burner. Although this burner is great for weed killing, it’s not for the faint hearted and the high output makes it a lot tougher to use than others on the market.While this model does cost more than other burners on the market, it’s sturdy and good quality, with a hardened propane hose that won’t swell nor break.
