About this deal

About Oliver: Oliver Thompson, a seasoned lawn care expert from the Cotswolds with over two decades of experience, invites all enthusiasts to join him in exploring the world of lawns, sharing knowledge, and fostering a vibrant community of lawn enthusiasts. You have electric burners (essentially a hairdryer on steroids), handheld gas weed burners and heavy-duty gas burners (also known as roofers torches). When it comes to choosing a weed burner, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. You should avoid using a weed burner during cold weather, as the cold temperatures will make it difficult for the weed to absorb the heat from the flame.

Some weeds can take more punishment than others, so it really is worth experimenting and seeing just how much burning you need to do to kill the weed. Now, these are some serious torches, also known as roofers torchers they are commonly used for melting bitumen when roofing.

Sarah’s role as chief editor at DIY Garden is about more than just making sure we’re literally dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s (although she’s a stickler for detail, so it’s certainly about that too! Some come with multiple heat settings, timers or even cordless operation, so make sure you pick one that suits your needs. The heat from the weed burner destroys the internal cell structures of the weeds causing them to wither and die within 1-2 days. You need a separate propane tank for these bad boys and also need to be wary of causing a fire, yes they are that powerful.

An average kWh (unit of electricity) in the UK at the moment is 19p, so a 2000 watt weed burner will cost 38p to run for an hour. This torch does not come with a lighter so you do need something to light it with, but this is easily done with any handheld lighter. if you want to see all of the different weed burners in action then watch this short video clip to see how they all work.In this guide, we will teach you everything you need to know about weed burners so that you can make an informed decision about which one is right for you. Going overboard and torching small weeds with intense heat just leads to lawn or driveway paving scorch marks. The Batavia 4-In-1 Electric Weed Burner is simple, fast and the perfect way to burn those unwanted weeds.

I’d recommend keeping small children and pets away too as the end of a weed burner gets extremely hot – 650 degrees for electric and 1300 degrees for gas versions. The disadvantage is of course that there is an electrical lead and most people will also need an extension lead to reach the weeds. Even if you don’t fully burn the weed to ash, the heat from the burner can be enough to kill the cells inside of the weed, leading to eventual death.Most weeds need a second or third burn before they give up the ghost, but as weed burning is a little addictive this isn’t usually a problem! If you are just intending to burn small areas of weeds then a weed burner is great, it will do this job perfectly. Weed burners are a popular choice for many people because they are relatively inexpensive and easy to use. You will be standing over the weeds for a while waiting for them to burn, for this reason, I really don’t like recommending the electric weed burners. It is a simple design with s press lever to operate, the lever operates the burner and when released a pilot light will burn to keep the torch going.

Finally, you should avoid using a weed burner near flammable materials such as shrubs, trees, or wooden fences. If you are not sure exactly how a weed burner works, then have a quick look at the 5 minute video just below. They are not as powerful, they are more expensive and you are also tethered by a power cord, making them harder to use.

You can also use a weed burner to create a barrier between your plants and the weeds by running the flame along the ground around your plants. This weed burner is perfect for killing weeds but if you have a serious problem like me and the horsetail on my driveway then you might be better with the heavy-duty weed burner listed below. Wouldn't mind a heads up on why my comment on the burner left yesterday did not meet approval and has been taken down.
