New BBQ and smoking tool/toy

[801driver]

I use something similar to this for lighting my fire ring fires and brush piles. 1 lb tanks I refill off a standard BBQ tanks fit on the handle, guess I could double up and use it for other things too just have to stand back a little further. Ha Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. I use a weed burner but this is a bit lighter to move around no doubt.

Still the greatest big boy toy ever!

I have been using a creme brulee torch forever to start my BBQ and it does pretty well to get charcoal started it is a bit more difficult if I am only using wood. I don't like using lighter fluid on my cooks. Watching videos of the pros using the giant offset smokers they were using pretty expensive grill guns to get their wood going. I was poking around Amazon and found an inexpensive one that uses a camping propane tank. I have a few of those tanks in the garage.

The two together.

I waited for it to get dark so I could get a picture of the flames. Each one is at half way of power.

This one should make lighting wood much easier. Great for a camp fire as well. Or killing zombies.

Yeah, yeah. Mines arriving tomorrow. Used excuse that I'll need it at a cabin we're renting in November in VA to light the fire ring!

Steve you will find out once you get it that it is the most fun of a toy you can own that is also a useful tool. My parents were over last weekend and I was cooking up something great. My 75 Year old dad noticed it sitting on the ground and asked about it. I gave him a demonstration of how powerful it was and his eyes lit up. The roar of it at full blast is amazing. This is definitely worth buying.

Well that had me curious so I let mine run on high for a full minute then did a heat test.

Now that I have a couple of refillable 1lb propane tanks, I need to get one of these. If for no other reason just to scare the $hit out of the neighbor's annoying dog, and I must say it just looks freaking cool.

I'm wondering if that could happen on low flame.
