CeramicChef Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 Dennis - I don't have a clue. I've seen people use weed burners, which are long and point down, but as for that specific unit, I have no idea.
bgrant3406 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 Does anybody know if this was the torch that forum members used to build the long hang over the side of your grill lighters? http://www.harborfreight.com/electric-start-propane-torch-91061.html Not sure, but it may have been more like this one: https://bbqguru.com/StoreNav?CategoryId=9&ProductId=200
tony b Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 I didn't get mine from BBQ Guru, but it looks just like it. Mine came from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008ZA0F/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
CeramicChef Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 @bgrant and @ tony - those are exactly the units I've seen. Are they that much better than my MAPP torch? I'll try anything once, twice if I like it!
DaveyR Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 The one i use is http://www.amazon.com/Red-Dragon-VT-1-32-Propane/dp/B002LH46M8 Good thing and bad thing about it is that it dosnt use the pizo electric starter. Just the good old flint starter from a welding kit or a cigarette lighter. Just light and stick in the coal and ignore for a few seconds. When connected to a new tank of gas dont open the valve up very far as the pressure will blow the flame out. (About 1/4 of a turn is all that is needed) 1
tony b Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 Just got mine (peer pressure from this site to abandon the chimney that I've used forever!) So, I don't have a lot of experience with it yet. Still learning. I'm using propane right now, as my closest hardware store was out of MAPP when I went in to buy it and was too lazy to travel looking for it. Next canister will be MAPP for comparison. 1
