- Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017Style: Torch KitVerified PurchaseHands down a great product. We have (hopefully "had") weed problems in our backyard and this product really help maintain them. This is what we learned while using this product.
* You can use it on dried up weeds or green weeds. Green weeds obviously create more smoke and took a lot longer to wilt using the weed dragon thus, using more propane. We went through MANY propane tanks before finishing out back yard ( We live in So. California and our backyard isnt huge but the largest on our block with a large side yard and decent sized backyard) Either way, it got the job done.
*We found the following process to make using this 100% successful. #1Mow the area you are about to torch to get it as low as possible. #2 Rake up any underlying dead grass/weeds that may be covering the ground. If you do not do this, you will only be torching the top layer and will HAVE to retorch the area for it to be successful. After torching, I found raking again gave us the most amount of success so that we can see what may still be alive and what is for sure dead so we can go retouch areas.
* DO NOT torch next to plants you want to live! We have ivy growing on our fence of the backyard. Even torching next to the ivy caused them to wilt and dry up. The heat along will kill the plants not necessarily actually torching the plant. Its been about a month and the ivy is still brown.
* You cannot torch for a LONG period of time, nothing to do with the weed dragon, its the propane tank freezes over when it gets low. You will need to take breaks while it defrosts.
* This product is VERY loud. Sounds like a Jet airplane or even a helicopter at times. Im sure our neighbors just love us by now.
*We had the police called on us for using this product in Southern California. Luckily nothing happened, he took a report and said we technically need a permit in our city. We showed him how it worked that we weren't creating a fire so went on his merry way.
With knowing the above, this product works wonderful however, the weeds still grow back. At least in our case. Its been about a month and we are starting the see new growth pop up here and there. I would still highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2016Style: Torch KitVerified PurchaseYup. I don't know why I bought this. I don't know what I was looking for when I found it. But I'm glad I have it. I startled my in-laws as they sat around the patio when I whipped my new toy out of the shed and started blasting weeds. It's exactly as described--a terrifying flame torch with a 10-ft hose that hooks up to a regular gas grill's propane tank.
With the recent warm weather, we've got various weeds coming up through the river rocks, bricks, and limestone pavers around our patio. In a few minutes with this weed dragon, I can have the whole thing looking clean and neat. The fact that it's more fun than spraying herbicide is just a bonus. Pro tip: don't use it barefoot and then absentmindedly walk over the rocks that you just de-weeded.
Pro tip 2: don't use where weeds are mixed among dry leaves on a windy day.
I've found that it does leave a little film of soot on the rocks, but I expect that will wash away with a rain. It also burned all the paint off the end of the wand with the first use, but I'm not exactly worried about the aesthetics of my propane torch.
I do wish the wand were about 6 inches longer. I'm 5' 10" and I have to hunch over a bit to blast the ground-hugging weeds.
It's easy to light, easy to adjust the flame, easy to use, easy to extinguish. Even if you don't need one, it's just fun to have one. You'll figure out something to do with it. I look forward to a chilly night when I can expedite the fire pit lighting process by about half an hour. Oh, man. I am going to have a field day with the next wasp nest I find.
Anyway. I'm a happy customer. The small weeds I burned a couple of months ago have not grown back. Granted, it's been Winter, but my patio looks great.
UPDATE: Several months and uses later, and it still looks and works like new (save the scorched emitter end of the wand). I still like using it. This weekend, I improved the appearance of my yard immensely by just burning a ton of weeds along the rocky border with the street. My neighbor came over to see what I was doing, and he left to go order a Weed Dragon for himself. I used it for a couple of hours yesterday (it can be slow work, compared to aim-and-spray herbicides), and it did a fantastic job without using much gas. My neighbor could appreciate the lack of poisonous chemicals, since we live alongside a greenbelt creek and above an aquifer recharge zone. I still wish it was a little longer; I think at this length, it was just designed more for quickly clearing dry farmland without the need to apply flame directly to the ground. But yeah, I dig the product and I still recommend it.

Rodney CameronReviewed in Canada on March 5, 20185.0 out of 5 stars It came super fast, and I started it right up
Style: Torch KitVerified PurchaseIt came super fast, and I started it right up, worked great, built sturdy, and I didn't think it sounded loud as some reviews say. I would buy again, melts snow quick, ice takes somewhat longer but does melt.

Style: Torch KitVerified Purchasethe weeds do not like it
David CookReviewed in Canada on February 10, 20144.0 out of 5 stars works well
Style: Torch KitVerified Purchaseit hooks up easy. only problem is that you can't shut off the gas to the tool except by unscrewing it. it mail threads into the propane tanks female which bypasses the valve. So you have to shut off the gas via the torch assembly. so if a dog chews it etc, you will leak your tank away or it could catch on fire.
works well for thin ice. not so well for thick ice.
bradleyReviewed in the United Kingdom on December 11, 20164.0 out of 5 stars loud but effective
Style: Torch KitVerified Purchasewhen this is turned up to full it makes a lot of noise but good for reaching into the middle of a patch of plantlife. very satistying to use watching the weeds melt right before your eyes. make sure you have a bucket of water handy just in case. dry vegitation goes up very quickly so i try to use just after a good rain.
also good for lighting barbeques but be careful with the tinfoil disposables as it will burn through the tinfoil in no time.
after buying this and using it for a while i found that there are similar torches sold for roofing felt at a lower price and these might have been more suitable
