Know before you buy
No, the Weed Dragon is designed to run directly off tank pressure, so no regulator is required. It connects directly to your propane tank using the included safety P.O.L. fitting.
The intense 2,000°F heat causes the water inside the weed's cells to expand and burst, effectively killing the plant. You do not need to incinerate the weed to ash; simply passing the flame over the leaves until they wilt is sufficient.
This torch is designed to work with standard refillable propane tanks, such as the 20lb tank commonly used for gas grills. The included 10-foot hose provides plenty of reach for maneuvering around your yard.
Yes, it is highly versatile. Beyond weed control, it is effective for melting ice on walkways, starting charcoal grills, and lighting brush piles.
Yes, the kit includes an adjustable needle valve that allows you to control the gas flow and flame size, giving you precision for different tasks.
Always wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and non-synthetic clothing. Ensure you are working in a clear area away from dry grass or flammable debris, and keep a water source or fire extinguisher nearby as a precaution.
