Having trouble starting your torch? Give us a call or see how to properly start your torch kit below!

How Do I Properly Start My Torch Kit?

Starting with everything off and closed (Propane tank and needle valve) slowly crack the knob of your propane tank about ¼ to ½ of a turn. This will provide plenty of propane flow, depending on the level of propane in your tank, to provide a large usable flame. Next, you need to wait about 5-10 seconds for the propane to fill the hose. You will then slowly crack your adjusting needle valve about ½ a turn, and then proceed to light the torch. Following this procedure (also listed in your torch kit's instruction booklet) will prevent the safety valve from engaging and prohibiting your use. If you find that you have turned your kit on too quickly, shut everything off and give the P.O.L. safety feature time to reset (about 1 minute). Hint: Neither the tank valve nor the needle valve on the torch needs to be opened all the way to get a usable flame.

Still having issues? Contact us and talk to a living, breathing human!

A quick pass with the torch and you'll see weeds wilt and die.

A thumb print on the weed leaf indicates success.

Shortly after flaming the weed turns a dark green and shows stress and wilting.

Days later, weed decay is obvious.

    Customers are mixed about the power of the torch. Some mention that it lights easily, has plenty of flame control, and comes in handy on the farm. However, others say that it wouldn't light a cigarette, is way too powerful for most weeding needs, and is unable to produce a jet of flame.

    "...not a terrible amount but more than what I was expecting and sounds like a jet engine!..." Read more

    "...At the highest setting, it is relatively loud because of the rate at which the gas is passing through the nozzle...." Read more

    "...Note, it is louder than you think. I suggest earplugs to protect your hearing." Read more
