When growing in a natural habitat, weeds are nothing short of beneficial. But when they are present in places where you don't want them to be such as your driveway or garden it's best that you get rid of them. For this reason, it's best that you bring flame weeding into the picture. Flame weeding is a process that involves burning plant tissue. This is done with a weed burner torch which is far safer despite relying on an open flame.

The torch passes enough heat to kill the weed but not its root. Unlike when using chemicals, a weed flame torch is not bad for the soil. You can use one everywhere you need to and you won't have to bend down to get to the weed, just point and pull the trigger – it's that easy. As long as you have the right weed burner you'll get rid of unwanted weeds safely and easily.

To get the right type of flame weeder you should first pay attention to its burning time. A longer burning time means you can burn more weeds in one go. Longer burning times are proffered by most people when searching for a flame weeder Australia wide. You may want a weed burner with a shorter burning time than usually. But no matter what burning time length you want on your weed burner you should pay attention to two things, the tank and tip.

The bigger the tank of the weed torch the more gas it can hold and the more gas the torch gets to use the longer it will burn. Keep in mind though, that the bigger the tank the heavier the weed burner as the more fuel it's able to hold. If you don't mind having that extra weight for a longer burning time then go for a burner with a bigger tank. If you don't mind carrying a heavier torch then you will like having one with a bigger tank as you won't need to refill it as frequently as a lighter one. This way you get less downtime and a cleaner yard.

It may seem that the tip of a weed torch is only there to point the flame in the right direction but that's not the case. While a burning tip does that too, it also determines the burning time of the torch. The larger the tip is the shorter the burning time bit the lather the are you'll cover with it. Smaller burning tips are known to increase burning time but they do not cover a big area. You get to choose what is more important to you – burning time or burning area.

Just like your car, every flame weeder Australia wide comes with an ignition switch. It's up to you to decide which type of ignition switch you want to go for. There are two different types manual and built-in. Weed torches with a manual ignition switch may be trickier to use than a built-in

But a torch with a manual ignition switch is however preferred by people that want to have more contort over the weed flame torch. This is because you decide when you turn on the torch. Unlike a manual ignition switch, a built-in one works by lighting the flame as soon as the gas is turned on. This is a lot more convenient since you don't have to trigger each function separately.

The heat rating of a weed torch signifies the number of BTUs (British Thermal Units) a weed burner torch is able to produce. The higher that number is the stronger the heat the torch is able to produce. Usually, a weed torch is able to produce about 20,000 BTU which is a common heat rating. If you go for a heavy-duty weed torch you'll get about 500,000 BTUS which is overkill for yard weeds. A weed burner torch that has anywhere between 20,000 BTUs and 100,00 BTUs is what you should look for.

If you want something portable and user-friendly you should go for a lightweight weed torch. But if you want a weed torch with a higher temperature and plenty of power then go for a heavy-duty one. Heavy-duty torches are a lot heavier and more difficult to carry than lightweight ones but they can also be used for longer periods. Lightweight weed torches are not as noisy as heavy-duty torches but they also don't use refillable tanks

There are weed torches that come with a bell-shaped shroud at the end. This is what helps the torch to keep the heat and also to direct the flame better. With this bell-shaped shroud, you will have a more efficient burn. An efficient weed torch is quicker and it also saves you gas since it needs less of it to burn the plant tissue.
