FAQs

Does this tool kill the weed roots?

The burner is designed to damage the plant structure by applying intense heat to the leaves, which causes the weed to die back over a few days.

Can I use this on wooden decking?

Use extreme caution on wooden surfaces as the high temperature can cause scorching or fire. It is primarily recommended for stone, concrete, or gravel areas.

How long does it take to kill a weed?

You generally only need to apply heat for a few seconds. The weed will begin to wilt shortly after, with full death occurring over the following days.

Do I need an extension cord?

The device comes with a 2m cable. You will likely need an outdoor-rated extension lead to reach all areas of a typical garden or driveway.

Is it safe to use in the rain?

No. This is an electrical device and should not be used in wet conditions or while it is raining.

How do I switch between the temperature settings?

The burner features a switch on the handle to toggle between the 60°C and 650°C settings.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not heat up when turned on.

Check that the plug is fully inserted into the power outlet and verify that the circuit breaker or RCD hasn't tripped.

Weak airflow or low heat output.

Check the air intake vents for blockages such as dirt or foliage and clear them carefully.

Nozzle feels loose during operation.

Power down the device, allow it to cool, and firmly reattach the nozzle to ensure it is locked into the housing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Chemical-free weed control
  • Ergonomic upright design prevents back strain
  • Lightweight construction for easy handling
  • Includes specialized nozzles for weeds and BBQ lighting
  • Dual temperature settings for application flexibility

Cons

  • Restricted by the 2m power cable length

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the tool, ensure the desired nozzle is securely attached to the heating element. Connect the 2m mains cable to a standard UK outdoor-rated extension lead if your work area is further from an outlet.

Care Instructions:

  • Cooling Down: Always allow the heating element to cool down completely before changing nozzles or storing the unit.
  • Cleaning: Keep the air intake vents free of debris and dust to prevent overheating. Wipe the plastic housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth; never submerge the device in water.
  • Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place out of reach of children. Ensure the power cable is coiled neatly without sharp kinks to preserve the internal wiring.
