- Using my propane torch flame thrower to burn some weeds naturally without pesticides. Almost caught my neighbors shed on fire. Need to be careful around buildings and dry tinder.

I was a fireman for 37 years. Guys like you are good for business. Thank you!
In an ideal world, firefighters, police, and paramedics would have no work to do.
🤣
I was sure he was either going to melt a kayak or burn through the hose and end up killing himself.
@Hybrid Libertarian No it's a business, no fires means no funding. More fires and emergencies more budget from taxes they can get yearly for equipment and depending on the city and size you have paid firefighters and then volunteer departments. Just like with police when clinton came in and they started really cracking down on crime. They had massive police layoffs in med to large cities. Less crime means you need less police. Less crime means less police funding.
Mr. fireman, you know this video is like porn for you. You can't resist watching.
I'm waiting for the instructional on chainsaw juggling.
He's the reason they put warning labels on everything and pay extra for a car because it has to have a backup camera
This was the scariest thing I've ever witnessed. I was holding my breath waiting for the mushroom cloud
Hank hill approves of this video.
1. Cut the weeds down.
2. Rake up the weeds, dry leaves, dry grass etc.
3. Remove all items from the area.
4. If you really just want to burn something do it in the middle of your yard on a thick layer of sand.
5. Try to find adult supervision.
6. If you can't find adult supervision, ask your neighbors to slap you hard until you decide to go inside and watch TV.
You have to turn the pressure down significantly or it'll literally blow itself out (or never start). That hose is ridiculously short by the way. But do you ever get the sense that the neighbors moan when they see you step into your backyard? You really made me squirm torching near someone else's property, a kayak, a short hose, all that gas floating around...you weren't smoking were you? Next time try it with a cigarette and get yourself inducted into the Darwin hall of fame.
Hold my beer......
He may be a nice guy, but I'd sure hate to be his neighbor.
"Click here to see how to kill weeds with a propane torch and almost start my neighbor's shed on fire!". How could I NOT click that link!?
right?!
Lol same here. Hilarious. This guy is like the tree stump fire guy. Not sure if you guys are familiar with him (can't think of his name offhand) but he has a hilarious series of videos about removing a tree stump.
BY FIRE BE CLEANSED! *Burns all the weeds to cinders and nearly lights up his neighbors shed and his own house*
Kind of reminds of Bill Murray in Caddyshack when takes out the golf course :)
This guy is awsome, let me show ya something! For those that remember fire marshal
Fire Marshall Bill
I clicked on this to read the comments.
😂😂oh I better be careful with kayaks I don’t want to move them 😂😂😂
Kept watching to see if he eventually lit the propane hose on fire.
Me too! I was sure he’d melt it.
I have the same one. Works great, but you have the gas valve opened too far. It should just be burning like a big pilot light, then control the torch with the lever.
Why would you dare, even try to guide this person with a mental incapacity like that ? To fire up a f****** flame torch, he should be in a God damn helmet !
Some people worry me. A lot.
From a former torch down roofer and regular torch weeder: remain 1/2 hour with fire extinguisher in hand (put your fire extinguisher up high or on your back for show and go”and make sure your weeds don’t love fire for dispersion. Also if you do it only after a rain or on a wet morning nobody will question you. On a hot day you will take the heat from neighbors, the fie dept (read these posts )etc. Us a fire proof movable barrier like a piece of rolled roofing when up against structures that are foreign. Air circulation behind old walls can whip up billows you can’t control.or spot till is too late.
Great suggestions. Thx. I was being a bit cavalier for the video and am always very careful and have a hose ready to go if needed. I usually stick to the backyard because of neighbors.
I wasn’t being critical of you at all,I knew you knew what you were doing and burning down your neighbors property was tongue in cheek I saw some responses that lead me to believe some individuals thought it was all a joke and since so few do it and the recent round up scare makes it so important an alternative, I was trying to add some fire zone tips to lend lend readability and proliferate the practice for those respectfully hesitant (not recognizing the entertainment value of your great flame thrower imitation )
No worries. I didnt take it as criticism. I thought they were great tips. I also used it one winter when the back driveway froze with a small layer of water. It smoothed out the ice so the kids could slide around on it better. No worries about starting a fire then! :)
you could wet the area first, still plenty of heat to kill weeds, you just wont burn everything else
Its not lighting cuz you turn it on too high to start with...
You should move all flammable things out of weed area before burning them.
Yeah had the fun of my life. I will definitely buy a few of these!! Please do continue to post this scary stuff.
I googled "weed torch accidents" and this was the first video.
The flame goes out when it becomes starved for oxygen. If you place it in the smoke or too close to the ground it will go out.
Can I just call the fire dept now?
I use my torch on weeds. It does seem to work. But those big weeds, like my overgrown garden, i use a weed whacker first.
The problem I see often, is the fire burns the leaves, but the roots will just send up new leaves afterwards.
Oh, one plus... it incinerates weed seeds!!! Heck yah, I’m sold!!!
You sir, are a hot mess.
Use the weedeater first.
Use the weed eater PERIOD! This guy doesn’t mix well with fire.
When I use mine i stay away from anything I don't want catching fire and I use roundup on that stuff. You're smart to keep the hose handy, that's just a must. I also stay mindful of the direction the nozzle is blasting. I always angle it away from any areas I don't want catching fire. A bit of a learning curve but I love the things.
$15 bucks and its broken already. Sign me up hahahah
PLEASE HAVE YOUR GARDEN HOSE TURNED ON AND NEARBY AT ALL TIMES! I used a small propane blow torch to kill weeds and grass around planters. I was really on a roll until I came too close to a nearby juniper bush (very flammable apparently), one caught on fire and within seconds I had a huge fire. Luckily my neighbors were watching (probably wondering what the heck I was up to now) and ran out and helped me extinguish the flames as their hose was much closer to the situation than mine. I lost a good portion of our shared juniper bushes but luckily our houses didn't ignite. Oops..
Round up. Cheaper thank buying a new house and garden shed.
It’s not a “flame thrower”, it’s a blow torch.
I typed in circus clown show and this video popped up.
4 years later. I wonder if this guy is still alive. 🤷🏻♂️
had to turn this video off by 4:00, the danger and stupidity level was making my bung pucker so tight I won't shit for a week. Should look back in the paper to May 2016 and see what neighborhood burned down.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG
Didn't they used to use that same machine in WW2? It's a beast!!
Clicked through about half of this, still not sure if it was supposed to be sarcasm or not.
Sarcasm for sure
StevesVids oh that’s great news. I want some kayaks and can’t afford em, my jaw was hanging open when you said you were too lazy to move them lol
That's some Trailer Park Boys sh*t. Guy even sounds a bit like Bubbles.
I always keep a fully charged fire extinguisher and a charged hose with a high output nozzle on hand. Literally on hand.
Hi I’m planning on making a documentary that needs a part of it to have some flamethrower footage, do you think I could use this if I credit you?
Go for it.
@@bwhite661 brilliant, thanks man.
Wow. That's crazy.
Cool u just saved me days of weeding! Yay! 😁
I thought he was going to burn the hose at one point!
need to hold the torch down (vertical) or the igniter won't work.
Watching this I suddenly get an irresistible urge to watch "Flags of Our Fathers" - probably because of the depiction of the island of Iwo Jima, levelled and incinerated.
🔥 Fire!! 🔥 Fire!!! Fire Bad!!👍😁
How long does the propane last of the weed killer constantly running?
Michael Cardona. I really dont know. I suppose i should keep track sometime. That torch puts out a lot of btus. Sometimes i use it to dry the pavement where we play basketball.
@@bwhite661 It's probably good for drying off your truck after you wash it, too
The five first seconds of your video screamed to me this is the case where propane weed control is a goner.
Is this guy still alive?
Feel for your neighbors. Buy a dam striker already
Is this guy Fire Marshall Bill???
Can I just set on fire the old way, in a pot? Don't want to mess with that
how long do the weeds stay gone?
Jim Beshears weeks to months
Bro turn the gas down when ur trying to light it
You needed to prep the area first. Remove items, and dry foliage. This was so dangerous 😧
Seems like this torch would be better used right after a heavy rain or maybe even while it's raining. Hard to start a wildfire when everything is soaked.
I agree and that's typically when I try to use it. I definitely don't use it in the summer.
Thanks! Now I can burn my neighbours' house.
Oh boy we’re in trouble now aren’t we 🙄
FIRE
Where's the regulator ? Take one off an old grill or buy one at depot or lowes for $10-15
Legend has it he burned down the neighborhood
Shouldn't you cut those weeds down first?
Interesting, can you provide the torch brand and model? Thanks!
Harbor Freight sells one that's pretty good for $29
This guy is a moron
Turn your gas way down when u start it. Then slowly turn it up.
Can u do hot knives tooLol
Its effective and adrenalin rush with out harsh chemicals!
Also dangerous as fuck if you don't pay attention
Rest In Peace I’m sure you burned the directions
The heat will kill the weeds from what I understand you don’t have to roast them.
I knew when I read through all these comments that it was going to be pretty interesting haha. and I agree too .this is crazy! First off you need to have a smaller tip on that for a more controlled burn. second I'll get off your lazy butt and pull all the stuff out of the way before you start burning. that's pretty doggone lazy. Dude move the kayaks first.! and don't be burning around the neighbor's shed especially when he has a piece of Styrofoam right next to the shed ! And I agree with the other commenter. Weedeat is much as you can before you start burning!
Wiley Coyote super genius......
Jesus Christ man, put that thing down.
Dude should've weed whacked first and raked it up first
That sound is way to high of flow so it won’t light .
I love all the negative comments on here. People you didn't run into this video by accidentals, y'all know you are trying to do the same damn thing, even you fake firefighter guy!
We came here because we saw a bunch of shit on fire....it's like when you see a bad driver and you just gotta see who the idiot is behind the wheel.
YUP
There is nothing wrong with burning weeds IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND TAKE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
@@armadillotoe Haha yea gotta know what you're doing or at least don't live next to me .
How not to use a burner!
Isn't that a bit of an overkill?
Ethel Pepper not really
pulling them out means they regrow quickly (mostly after a few weeks or days)
burning them with fire can keep them from regrowing for months
besides torching them is faster then pulling them
You only need to hit the weeds for a few seconds each with a blue flame, just enough time for the plant to wilt a little. This changes the molecular structure of the plant and kills it the next day.
dany in season 8 of got
Glysophate concentrate works much better. Despite all of the uneducated sentiments, it's the most environmental approach, aside from manually removing these established weeds without a mechanized device.
humans with propane torches.
That’s pretty dumb what if you have a natural gas leak or you neighbors have gas or paint in that shed fumes ignite this is a great idea but lazy I heard my neighbor doing this I was like wtf
Lololol Hillbilly gardening ftw lol
Yeah just seen like a bad idea all around
Yeah, Harbor Freight.
Is that store a joke or something? It looked liked someone made that thing in his garage.
Super cheap merchandise, but they have a pretty awesome lifetime replacement policy
Funny, we have a brand like that in Canada too.
....or the IRS...
Omg, this guy gave me anxiety.
" I'm too lazy to move them "
THEN STOP!
Stop playing with fire friend
Lol
Wow. Really?!? Boy I hope you don’t have kids. Lol
Hahaha
Don't let your home insurance see this.
Is this a comedy sketch?
Pretty much...
Elon Musk brought me here
Turn it down
You're the reason that they take our rights away and the reason you have to be 18 to buy spray paint and glue.. I'm truly amazed that you're even alive let alone roaming around freely it's very interesting that you're able to do such things
fun but stupid lool
Ikr
Not effectiv at all.
lazy
This guy is a walking disaster.
Clean up all the trash and junk then you can keep the place mowed.
