OK, just picked up the propane torch at Harbor Freight on my way back form the podiatrist. It looks a lot like yours: 6-1/2 foot hose, Piezo push-button ignition, connector for 25 lb. propane tank. The plan is to sit the tank in my 4 wheel garden cart and pull it with one hand while I wield the torch in the other. I plan to mow some grass later today and if the wind will die down a bid I'll light this puppy off and burn some weeds. Gotta watch out, I've heard that my late uncle was a pyromaniac......
That’s great to hear as I’m sure you’ll see the benefits now and in the long term.
Safety Nancy: It goes without saying it’s important to wear the appropriate PPE. Shoes, pants, ear, glasses when and where possible.
Use a hose to wet down anything that may catch fire and reduce the possibility of hot embers flying around.
Only torch during calm winds and far away of anything that might react to an open flame.
As all plumbers say
No bubbles - No troubles Insure the fitting is properly tightened and use a soapy solution to verify all the connections to the tank / handle are sound.
Once you’re done and have properly purged the entire gun. Lay the hot end on concrete and let assembly cool before storing the same.
Rock On . . .
