I would like to get a weed burner for BBQ and for melting ice...

I know some people swear by harbor freight but what other options are there. I would like one that I can screw the tiny bottle straight into it so I don't have to lug a big tank around

Neighbor swears by these, and made in usa. I actually heard the harbor freight ones were just okay, but for 13.99...

Using it to melt ice is a good excuse to get one, but I find salt works better and cost a lot less. I have the harbor freight one and it is sufficient, especially for the money. I think a better question would be who here does not own one?

From the link indicated above. Looks like you are interested in the Mini Dragon:

I've got the big one from HF, and I love it. It'll certainly start a fire quickly. I got the kind with a push button ignitor. I don't actually burn weeds though, and don't get enough cold weather to need to melt ice.

Me. I love starting up my chimney.
 
Not a weed burner but a simple torch.


$23 at my local ACE Hardware.

Striker igniter model.


It's been working great starting lump and wood chunks. Handy.

Betcha the list would be shorter who doesn't hsave one.
Its a very popular BBQ essential.
 
How long you think the harbor freight one would last??

I have the HF one with the ignition for at least three years and it still works just fine.:thumb:
