How the heck do you do a comparison and you completely ignore price?!

Testing something by using it in a way that the product labeling and warning labels and manual tell you EXPLICITLY not to use it is bizarre. Oh, gee, it's dangerous to do what they practically scream at you all over the packaging not to do. I thought that as soon as he said he "had a great relationship" with the other product the fix was in.

I’d like to see a comparison that would include the $20 Harbor Freight sear gun vs the $100 Sear Pro vs the $180 GrillBlazer. For most users cost is the first consideration. Great video. As a SearPro user I thought your conclusions were mostly fair but your reluctance and refusal to use the SearPro to light charcoal was absurd.

I wasn't surprised either.

I have a Suvgun for maybe three or more years and still love it. I like the longer distance between the tank and the front of the torch so I can get the flames down to were the charcoal is in my Green Egg. The only problem I had with the Suvgun is it doesn't stand on its own. But it does have a ring on the back that I just hook to the bottom of my side table with a J hook.

Lighting a grill with the sear pro really isn't an issue. The flame is long enough where there really isn't a concern with the propane tank getting to close

Thanks 🙏 this was just what I needed to know 😄😄

An interesting comparison. But $100 difference is pretty big. And you used the SearPro in a manner that they guided you not to do (beyond 45 degree angle). Yes, many products (especially flame throwers) can be used in ways that make them dangerous. If it hurts when you do that, don't do that. I'm not convinced that it's worth an extra $100 to be safe if I choose to use the product in a way in which it was not intended.

2 Sear Pro's + fuel for both for less than the price of one Su V gun was a NO BRAINER for me! I mainly use it to start the fire pit & the fireplace in the house which it works perfectly for, THANKS FOR THE REVIEW👍👍

Al, if you’re attaching the grill gun with a 8’ hose to a 20# propane tank do you still have issues with tilting the gun > 45 degrees and can you lay it down on a table without disconnecting?

While I feel what you're saying about comfort @ 2:06 I think that might only be an issue if you were going to be holding it straight ahead. I mean you're going to be aiming down at the grill to begin with so that means you're fighting the weight of the Su-V gun instead of using the weight like the searpro. Just my thoughts though.

I love my Grill Blazer and the only advantage from the other is it can stand on its own. One thing to note about the Grill Blazer is if your flame out put ever stops working correctly they sell a parts kit and once you swap out the parts they run new again.

I was fortunate to get my Grill Gun and Su-V Gun as an early Kickstarter supporter (I actually bought two of each and gave one pair to my son as a Christmas present in 2019. Both work exceptionally well, but will only work reliably when connected to a 20-lb propane tank with the hose from Grillblazer (I tried 3 or 4 others without success). But at today's price of $180 each or $346 for both, I wouldn't shell out that amount of money. I would continue to use my $35 piezo-ignition flamethrower from Harbor Freight that I've had since 2017. Lighting charcoal or searing meat, it does just as good a job.

The check valve can actually be a pain in the butt sometimes. With the wrong hose connected to a 20-lb propane tank, I couldn't get either my Su-V Gun or Grill Gun to work correctly. I had to spring for the higher priced hose from Grillblazer to get them to work properly 100% of the time. But both of these products are way overpriced. The $35 flamethrower with piezo igniter from Harbor Freight works just as well, maybe a little less convenient, but does double-duty as a weed destroyer, too.

I was sold on the SearPro because of how compact it was. I also love that it doesn't need a stand to keep it from tipping over. After watching the safety comparison, not sure I'm so certain anymore. Thank you for video.
