Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

“Pumpkin. It’s just that I’m tired of putting those poisonous chemicals in our garden. This is the most eco friendly way to kill all those weeds It would be irresponsible NOT to buy it”. I spent the afternoon vaporizing weeds and wayward grass in our large garden bed. It’s a helluva lot more fun than pulling them or using roundup. Here are a few things I learned that might be helpful. Weeds don’t stand a chance and it’s not looking too good for you if you’re a stink bug either. I like to pretend the weeds are little ISIS militants and I’m Allah’s messenger speeding them to there date w destiny and 72 virgins. Easy to see how this flame could get away from you. I recommend pre wetting the battlefield. Particurly when it’s dry. Also, it sounds obvious but take a look at the area you’re working. Before I noticed, I was up against a wooden fence vaporizing stink bugs and grubs. It was a little damp out so I wasn’t worried about the fence but then it occurred to me the fence had recently been sealed. I backed off and fortunately didn’t find out how flammable that particular brand of sealant was. Anyway, you get the idea. Be extra aware of your surroundings and have the hose or an extinguisher close by. I almost bought the somewhat expensive trigger mechanism but glad I didn’t. My thumb on the little dial gave me all the control I needed. I thought the hottest and most effective part of the flame would be near the base. It seemed to be more effective flaming the little jihadis toward the end of the flame. It also seemed somehow more effective when it was a normal orange flame as opposed to dialing it up to what I thought was the hottest setting. Lower seemed better which I thought counterintuitive. Unless you’re older or somehow disabled I don’t think the propane caddy is worth it. A regular BBQ propane tank is easy to hook up. You simply pick it up and walk to a weedy area and set it down while you’re working. The hose is fairly long and gives a pretty good work radius. The best part aspect of the Dragon was getting those annoying little pieces of grass and weeds that grow between the stones on our walkway. I didn’t think the propane got used as fast as another reviewer did. Have fun and be safe! It’s an “I told you so!” waiting to happen! : )
