You explain clearly thank you for the demos and tours! Please continue!
Oh how I wish I had seen this before planting our few raised garden beds! I wasnt sure how we would garden next year, they are so full of weeds! Thank you for sharing. Enjoying all your vids.
Really cool tool to have! Maybe you can do a demo for us on how they work fired up. Happy Easter!
Really great tool! Direct contact to beds. No more hit or miss with dry carbon burn off. Thanks.
Thank you for the great videos
I like that small one. I've been using my snow shovel. I place the snow shovel such that it blocks the heat from the plants I want to protect and use the flame thrower on the other side. That small one you have would be much better though since it speeds it up I bet because of the trapped heat.
Good Video!
do u use on the snow to just asking, like your videos. going to Harmony NC to start my farm. Thanks for all your help
Thsnks! Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Question: What's the difference between a smooth bed and rough bed when planting?
Have you tried painting the weeder to stop rust? Wondering if high heat paint by rustoleum would work. I’ve used it on bbqs and fireplace flues. Thx for your sharing to help us👍
Flame weeders are also FAR more economical than chemical weeding. A tank of propane will cover MANY times more ground than chemical sprays. I can cover my property (residence, not a farm) with my flame weeder for almost a whole season on one 20 gallon tank. You won't do that with chemicals.
nice weeder I have only seen the single smaller units.
If you squeeze a leaf between your thumb and forefinger after it's been hit by flame, you should leave a dark green fingerprint on the leaf.
Should paint that with BBQ paint and see if that lasts better (Haha just saw that someone else said that.) They also have exhaust paint for tractors that should be able to take the heat irrc
its a good tool for snow removal also. :D
Where the link to the small hooded flamer with the basket wheel and backpack cylinder?
I would like to build one. Anyone know where to get the flame tips? I can't afford to buy the units but I do have the ability to build one. Any information would be great.
Cool
I am interested in purchasing the hood with roller. I already have the backpack and tank I bought from Johnny’s select seats. I have the dragon torch that I bought from Home Depot I assume the hood will fit that. Great videos thanks so much.👍🏼

Silly question, how do you light the torch with the hood attached?
They also rust very quickly because of the nature of the propane. You'll need to keep it cleaned.
How would this work for weeds with deep roots?
Before you put a new hood on your field burner try spraying it with bbq grill paint.

Will most places fill propane tanks?
The red dragon flame weeder you list on your site is the 100 000btu version. Is it the one you would recomand with your hood or the 400 000btu or 500 000btu would be good too. Which one is best choice?
@NeversinkFarm

It will fit the 100k or 400k. I like the 100k of you will not be using an adjustable regulator. If using the adjustable regulator the I like the 400k
What do you do with the dead weeds? Do you let them rot there? Turn them under with a shovel or fork?

This is for extremely small weed seedings. Just let them wilt and decompose in place.
Couldn't you have a hood made out of stainless steel so it doesn't rust. Thanks for your videos.

Flame weeders only warm the surface for a short time.

haha of course. I was a little tired when I asked that. I really appreciate you replying to my question. your videos really inspire me. I just purchased some agricultural zoned land that wasn't being used for farming and I plan on following a lot of your advice. thanks.
I would love to buy one of your units, signed up on the site, but no email notification yet. Wondering costs and expected purchase availability? Appreciate your willingness to share information with a healthy positive vibe.

We haven't begun emailing yet, but cost and and availability information is up on the site now. www.neversinktools.com/. Yo can also chat with someone on the site if you have more questions.
Does that smaller one only have one burner? I have a roofing torch that I picked up for $50 and was thinking about making a hood for it to concentrate the heat.

Yes one burner. It would work with the torch you already have. www.neversinktools.com/
You could make it out of stainless steel that would solve the rust problem
So how does flame weeding work on morning glory weeds?

Flame weeding is good for any recently germinated weeds. It is not the right tool for established weeds.
