Propane torch weed burner

I have one that I used to burn weeds that comes up through cracks and stress seams in driveway and side walk and along the the street curb. Works fine - doesn’t kill the roots so they come back but just burn them again.

I bought it for the same purpose you you desire. Though I’ll spray those same weeds if I mix a batch of herbicide to spray lawn weeds, I got tired of the inefficiency of mixing herbicide just to spray a limited number of “concrete” weeds. I purchased mine on-line but I’m pretty sure I saw them in Home Depot last year when walking through the store.

They're a lot of fun to play with! I use mine to burn brush and start fires lol

Same, from harbor freight. Use it on poa annua in a drain that pre-emerge never kills the seeds.

And then I use it on a bunch of other crap, because I'm walking around with a flame thrower.

I've used one for years. I use a 5 propane tank. Works fine. Get one with a long handle.

I've used one for the same reason. Initially, LOTS of fun, and you'll find quite a few things that need the attention of your new toy. Unfortunately, it'll kill the tops but the roots will be unaffected. Trying to burn 'em down to the roots will cause the concrete/bricks to crack or flake (experience talking). Ultimately, you'll go back to an herbicide and in a couple years you'll find something that is a great candidate for the flamethrower toy, but the hose will have rotted and need to be replaced (again, experience talking). My advice is DEFINITELY get one, go through the motions mentioned above, and enjoy the experience.

Note to self: buy another torch and repeat the experience.

And a long hose. I have the Harbor Freight one and it has a pretty short hose, so more lugging around the propane tank.
