Mini-Dragon Propane Torch Kit 18,000 BTU

Using a MiniDragon to flame your weeds is an ecologically friendly alternative to chemical weed killers. This durable torch will give many years of satisfaction as you instantly control weeds and keep the environment, yourself and your pets safe and healthy.

The all-new Mini-Dragon is the perfect torch kit for small jobs – anywhere spot weeding is necessary and you don’t need a large flame. This torch kit uses a 1 pound propane cylinder (NOT INCLUDED), so it is lightweight (2 lbs, without cylinder).

The Mini-Dragon kit, fully assembled, includes:

• 18,000 BTU Torch with non-slip grip
• Flame adjusting needle valve
• 1 pound cylinder connector
• Spark lighter

Going for a slow walk with the Mini-Dragon lit and applying just a split second of heat should kill weeds 1-4 inches tall. You don’t have to burn them down - the heat of the Mini-Dragon is intense enough that if they look wilted, they probably will die. These small weeds generally do not have a large root; larger weeds may take repeated treatments because their roots are more developed. Because of the way some grasses grow with extended root systems, they may return, but repeat applications will usually remove them. Increase exposure time to the heat if weeds are wet with dew, since water insulates.

There are only a few precautions. Be careful around flowers and shrubs, since heating too close to these can cause damage. Do not use the MiniDragon around any evergreens (conifers) since these are naturally very flammable. Also, do not use the MiniDragon to destroy any poisonous plants like poison ivy or poison oak, since the smoke from flamed leaves or stems can cause a rash on skin, eyes, or lungs.
