Commercial Burner — 700,000 BTU of Portable Heat
An industrial LPG heating torch for roofers, road crews, line markers, fabricators, carpenters and maintenance teams.
AUSTRALIAN MADE · 5-YEAR WARRANTY
We make the burner head here from raw pipe: weld the tip, roll it, fit the burner, assemble it and test every one before it goes in the box. 5 years against manufacturing defects, on top of your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
When the job needs a lot of heat in one spot, and the oxy set is overkill or the heat gun is a toy, this is the tool in between. One hand, a 4m hose, a standard 9kg LPG bottle, and 700,000 BTU on the end of it.
The economiser trigger drops it to a pilot idle between passes, so it sits ready on the roof or the road without burning gas while you set up the next section.
What Crews Use It For
- Roofing: softening roofing tar and bitumen, and drying out wet decks, joins and gutters before you seal.
- Asphalt & road repair: heating asphalt patches for a better bond, and drying cracks and potholes so the sealant actually takes.
- Line marking: preheating and drying the pavement before thermoplastic goes down, reheating damaged sections, and heating old markings so they scrape off.
- Metal work: preheating thick sections before welding, heating steel to bend or straighten it, and freeing seized bolts, pins and bearings.
- Shou sugi ban (yakisugi): charring timber cladding, fencing and decking boards. A wide, hot flame covers the full width of a board, so you char a wall's worth of cladding without crawling along it with a plumbing torch.
- Shed & pen sanitising: flaming bare concrete and steel floors, pens and crates between batches. Clear out the bedding first, and go easy on timber and galvanised wire.
- Drying & general heat: drying concrete and other surfaces before coating or sealing, and any job where you need broad, fast heat over a wide area.
What it isn't: a cutting torch. LPG and air won't cut steel and heats more slowly than oxy-acetylene. For broad heating, preheat and drying, that's exactly what you want.
Built To Live On A Worksite
- 0.9 kg handpiece: light enough to hold out in front of you all shift without wrecking your shoulder.
- 304 stainless steel: lives in the back of the ute, gets rained on, gets dropped. Doesn't rust or pit.
- Economiser trigger: one-handed drop to pilot idle between passes. Saves gas across a full day.
- 4m hose: leave the bottle on the trolley or the trailer and work without dragging it with you.
Kitting Out a Crew?
Buying more than one? Call us on +61 493 281 690 and we'll sort out multi-unit pricing and a proper tax invoice for your books. We make these ourselves in Australia and deal with you directly, so quantities, lead times and spares are one phone call. Hoses, igniters and service parts are on the shelf here, so a worn part is a part, not a new torch.
Hot work: check before you light up
On most commercial sites, torch work on roofs and around buildings needs a hot work permit, plus a fire watch and an extinguisher within reach. Keep the flame clear of insulation, timber and anything combustible under the membrane, and check your state's fire restrictions and the site's own rules before you start.

Common Questions
Is this the same burner as your Weed Wand PRO?
Yes, straight up. Same 700,000 BTU torch, same handpiece, same price. Farmers buy it to burn weeds; trades buy it for heat. This page is for the trades, and it's where multi-unit pricing and invoicing live.
Can I use it for shou sugi ban?
Yes. It's a big, wide flame, which is what you want for charring full boards rather than detail work. Test on offcuts first to dial in your distance and speed, work outdoors on a calm day, and keep a hose handy to knock down embers.
Does it come with an LPG gas bottle?
No, gas bottles can't be shipped. It connects to a standard Australian 9kg LPG bottle, the same one you swap at the servo. Most crews run it off a bottle on a trolley or strapped to the trailer.
When does it ship?
We dispatch every Monday and Thursday. For a crew order or a deadline, ring us and we'll tell you exactly where stock is at.
Will it cut steel?
No. It's a heating torch, not a cutting torch. Use it for preheat, bending, straightening and freeing seized parts. For cutting you still want oxy-fuel or plasma.
After one for weeds?
Same torch, same price. The Weed Wand PRO page is written for weed control, carries our 30-Day Weed-Free Guarantee, and is where most of our reviews live.
Older gas bottle? Our burners come with the LCC27 fitting that suits current swap bottles. If your bottle has the older POL fitting and you'd rather have POL, email us at mail@curlysag.com after you place your order and we'll sort it out.
