Remember they use hot air that heats up to 600° and aren’t raw flames like the gas-powered weed burners.

Now, something you will notice is this has 2 power settings whereas many other models have only one. Other than the confusing hook, there’s just a small clip for the cable on the extension pole which moves up and down. Without the need for toxic chemicals, this garden torch blasts the plants with intensive heat that instantly destroys the weeds' internal cell structures causing them to wither and die within 1-2 days. As with the other electric weed burners, there’s no emergency shut off; if you trip on the cable you could get a nasty burn so you need to be careful.

Electric weed burners are more of a slow and steady approach and are better suited for smaller areas. It’s simple to use and hot enough to wilt the weeds, but you will likely need to use it more than once on the same weed to kill it off.

You do, however, still need to keep any animals off treated areas until it’s fully dry, so for smaller individual weeds, I prefer to use a weed burner. Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, Northern Ireland (Carrier items only) Isle Of Man, Scottish Islands And all off shore Islands excluding Isle of Wight. While not the most advanced weed burner on the market, it throws out a decent flame and remains pretty controllable. Make sure that the temperature settings available are enough to kill the specific weeds you are dealing with. Used properly these garden weed burners are safe and highly effective at clearing weeds from your garden.In general, all electric models need to be used with extension leads because the cable is simply too short. For example, flat nozzles can allow weed burners to be used to strip paint (if recommended by the instructions). In fact, you can’t really compare gas burners against electric ones because they are each designed with different situations in mind. Now, as I have already mentioned, most of these electric weed burners are very similar and there is not a right lot to compare.
