LPG Weed Burner - Domestic

This gas-powered heat gun is what so many gardeners overseas use in preference to poisonous chemical sprays. There is no spray drift and you don't have to wait for a fine day. The weeds don't have to be burnt to a cinder - simply give a short blast of intense heat to the plant to burst the cell walls. Within a few days the leaves should wilt and die.

Leave the dead plant material to add natural potash to the soil. It is best to treat weeds when they are small, as they then die completely. Using the weed burner is the same as chopping the top off the plant with a hoe - the roots remain intact. This is why it is so effective on small weeds - they have not yet established a good root system. If the undesirable plant has an extensive root system or a tap root, it will be much harder to kill. Repeated use of the weed burner will eventually kill the plant, however it is not practical to use the weed burner on large established weeds. The Domestic LPG Weed Burner is entirely self-contained; it has an integral piezo electric trigger/igniter (no batteries required) and fits onto a standard barbecue gas bottle.

Note: We have found that the weed burner is great for burning holes in weed mat for planting. We have also found it is most effective on emerging weeds (those little ones that come up like a carpet after it has rained in spring). When weeds are at the two leaf stage they are most vulnerable.

Our picture shows you how you can set up your own weed exterminator. Use your existing barbecue bottle and purchase a hand truck and ratchet tie down (see details below on where you can purchase these), connect your burner and you are in business.

LPG Weed Burner - Commercial

This works in exactly the same way as the domestic model but has a much bigger flame. The output is 100,000 BTU and unlike the domestic LPG Weed Burner, there is not much precision on what you obliterate. Best for use in open areas. The unit comes with a separate lighter and spare flints. Just connect to a barbecue bottle (we recommend a 9kg bottle so it does not freeze) and away you go. In our picture we show you how to set your own weed exterminating unit.
