In this video I outline my new toy; a Bravex brand propane torch. I purchased this unit to burn weeds out of my gravel/rock driveway. This is my first attempt at using a torch like this and I was impressed. I figured I would share my initial results.

    Two words of caution... use a sprayer with soapy water to test connections for leaks before lighting it, and also it's possible to melt the hose with the torch flame which could possibly ignite and shoot flames much farther than you'd like in a random direction - so it's wise to keep the tank and hose as far away from your area-to-be-torched as possible.

    That’s pretty cool! Faster results than spraying RoundUp or any other weed killer with the added benefit of not putting toxic chemicals in the ground.

    I just got mine to deal with invasives in my wildflowers. I almost dropped it when I pulled the trigger! I was so startled by the roar of jet engine. I've wanted one for years. It made quick work of the bindweed and I'm going to move on to the Virginia creeper.

    another tip... you can always water the area before you torch in order to prevent unwanted areas being burnt. Such as weeds growing through mulch

    This is great and I want one for burning raised beds so that they're waterproof but linetrimming followed by spraying vinegar will kill weeds very effeciently as well.

    Good idea! I never thought about trying vinegar. I have also used this to mildly weather treat a pine bench (video on the channel). It was more cosmetic than functional, but turned out great. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

    For bbq, I use a bbq chimney. Works pretty fast too! About $10 at HD. Just put one or two pieces of gently crushed newspaper in the bottom and light with a match. Put coals in top and wait 20-30 mins. Simple and safe. No lighting fluid needed usually.

    I never tested it, but it does consume a large amount of gas. It might be comparable to expensive chemical weed control alternatives if used correctly. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
