Weed Dragon Deluxe Vapor Torch Kit with Squeeze Valve

Using a Weed Dragon® 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.

Because this version of the Weed Dragon® comes with a squeeze valve with an adjustable pilot, it is the perfect kit for those who do a lot of spot weeding but don’t want a continuous full flame. The added squeeze valve means propane savings and convenience. The Weed Dragon® comes assembled. This torch kit is powerful, generating heat up to 2,050° F. Its higher heat means you don’t have to come so close to the weeds – about 2 feet away does the job; don’t go closer than 16 inches!

The 100,000 BTU Weed Dragon® quickly hooks up to any refillable propane tank (NOT INCLUDED, but barbeque cylinders work great) and even comes with a hand-tightened tank fitting (you don't even need a wrench). Place the tank on a small dolly or hand truck for extra convenience. The Weed Dragon® has a 2" bell and a total length of 34".

The Weed Dragon® Deluxe Vapor Torch Kit with Squeeze Valve, fully assembled, includes:

• 100,000 BTU torch with a plastic grip
• 10 ft U.L. listed LP gas hose
• Hand tighten excess flow P.O.L. fitting
• U.L. listed regulator
• Adjustable needle valve
• Squeeze valve with adjustable pilot
• Spark lighter
• Pipe thread compound

Going for a slow walk with the Weed 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 Weed 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 Weed Dragon® around any evergreens (conifers) since these are naturally very flammable. Also, do not use the Weed Dragon® 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.
