At the lower end of the pricing, it has the same specifications as other top burners in this list when directly compared, although I wasn’t convinced it quite reached the same level of heat. Fully assembled and supplied with a 4 metre hose suits POL 9kg gas cylinders with hand tighten connection no tools required, no regulator required. On the plus side though I used this good hour and it’s pretty lightweight, we were worried it might not last as long as the others with it being so light, but then going back to paint strippers, they are light too! Next up is another great weed burner, pretty similar to our first place spot and the Draper when compared directly but just more expensive.

It has 5 different attachments which is pretty useful, but they can be a little flimsy and don’t concentrate the flame as much as we’d like.Enter the electric weed burner, which feels a little safer to use than a standard heavy duty weed burner. These units draw 2000 Watts which will heat up the cable on your reel and eventually melt them together if the circuit breaker fails!

This practice is also ideal for controlling plant-damaging fungi and insects, as it avoids the use of fungicides and insecticides.The rod length is a generous 94cm and this is long enough to use without the need to bend over, creating less pressure on your back. Second up on our list, and the equal best electric weed burner we’ve used so far, is the Draper weed burner weeding stick and it is a direct comparison and competitor for the top pick – I really liked using this weed burner. By only working in a few seconds, it should last you too, as you shouldn’t have to have it turned on for a long time for it to work properly.

For younger weeds it is sufficient to expose them to the heat for about one second, but for more mature plants, it is necessary to apply a temperature of just over 100° for the duration of always one second, and repeat the treatment for a second time shortly after the first, if necessary.After a few days the colour changes again to a faded yellow, and within 2-3 days the plant dries out completely and eventually perishes. In this weed burner review, I thoroughly compared design, ease of use, effectiveness, safety and value for money for multiple products.

In terms of the product, whilst fully functioning, it seems to cope with only particularly small weeds and anything medium sized and above just stays there.It remains fairly easy to manage, although I’d only recommend using it if you have some experience with burners like these, and that’s purely due to its power. It is indicated in terms of BTU (British thermal unit) in gas weed burners and W (watts) for an electric garden weed burner. The use of the electric weed burner guarantees total removal of the weed while fully respecting the environment. My name is Daniel Woodley, and over the last few years, I’ve reduced my reliance on strong chemical weedkillers considerably; in fact, I rarely use them at all now.
