the flame gun with hood and trolley


the flame gun with hood and trolley

my flame gun arrived, so i tried it out. where it is standing was a mass of dock leaves. i expect the roots to be still alive but I will burn off any new shoots in three weeks, hopefully that will do the trick.

That's an amazing looking gadget.
Peter will probably file this under Funky Flame-thrower ideas. :o)

it is easy to use sandra but a bit scary the first timeyou use it, if you look on the internet for sheen flameguns there is a video showing you how it works. ibought it from an internet company called edirectory.co. it cost eighty nine pounds with vat and delivery. everywhere else is asking for around £214. so was a bargain

Thanks. I found the video.
An efficient machine when used in controlled conditions, such as your dock leaf area.
The young chap took a little while to get the gun started, but then it looked to be working well, didn't it.
He seemed to have no safety gear.
That was surprising.
You did well to get the flame gun for such a good price! :o)

it does take a few minutes starting terra, as it has to heat up enough to vapourise the parafin. the hood and trolley let you burn weeds between rows of plants.
I'm sure you will soon get rain to test your guttering. been raining like the monsoon season here mixed with hailstones, fraid winter is on us now.
