One thing to bear in mind, of course, is to be really careful when using a weed burner; these are some serious temperatures we’re talking about.

Most weed burners have a maximum temperature of around 650°C, although some burn hotter, so they can bring some serious heat to the battle of the weeds!If you’re looking for an affordable product that covers the basics but would prefer a device from a trusted brand that honours their warranties, I think you should consider this electric weed burner from Draper.

The picture above shows the condition of the weed immediately after using the electric weed burner. According to the manufacturer, even if the weeds look green, they will die off if given 3 seconds of intense heat. In Reality

They eliminate the necessity to use chemical weed killers. This is great for a number of reasons. Chemical products aren’t good for the environment and they can also affect more than just weeds. They may damage other plants or kill wildlife. What’s more, they can prove hazardous for pets, so you have to be really careful when using them. You’ll need plenty of wrist strength to hover this in place. I needed to support the extension pole with my other hand. There’s a 3 m hose included, so you’ve got a fair amount of freedom to move around your patio, eliminating weeds as you go. At just under 2 kg, it’s pretty lightweight, but I also found it very well balanced, with aids control. The device is considered to be safe compared to the previous one. The main reason is the length of the handle, and there is no smoke or flames too.

In terms of weight, this burner is light enough to hover easily above weeds although I did need a second hand to keep the extension pole steady. The handle is a long way from the burning end, so I had to concentrate to hold it in the required 5 cm hover position. Gas weed burners are also great if you want a really light tool . From my experience, they’re more than half as heavy as other burners. This gas weed burner fired out immediate, blazing heat which completely burned away nearly all of the oxalis, dandelions, weeds and moss I applied it to, even when holding it above 15 cm.Third, you need to be aware that weed burners can be harmful to your health if inhaled. Be sure to use the weed burner in well-ventilated areas and avoid breathing in the fumes. The benefits of using a weed burner The cable is long, but I still had to use an extension. This was the same with all of the electric weed burners I tested, but at least a longer cable meant I wasn’t so tethered to the extension port. These weed burners work by targeting the weeds with a short burst of heat that kills the weed. Once killed, the weed will naturally degrade and disappear over time, usually within two weeks or so and from what I’ve seen often much sooner. They are not designed to vaporize the weeds – a common misunderstanding and unrealistic expectation some consumers have.
