The Torch Burner: 500,000 BTU Flame Weeder & Multi-Tool
⭐ 5-YEAR COMPREHENSIVE WARRANTY ⭐
Guaranteed against manufacturing defects. Built to last.
Designed for residential landowners who demand serious heat without the hassle. Featuring an Integrated Click-Ignition for instant spark starting and an economiser trigger for total flame control, this tool unleashes 500,000 BTU/hr of raw thermal power. Eliminate weeds, prep your spring garden beds, and tackle tough outdoor jobs without a single drop of toxic herbicide.
Our stainless Gas Bottle Trolley has 470mm all-terrain wheels and a laser-cut slot in the handle that the wand drops straight into. It's $349 when it ships with your burner in the same consignment — one pallet, one freight bill, and we pass the difference straight back to you. On its own it's $399.
Every Weed Wand comes with three months of Acreage Guardian, the weekly planner for your acreage and your animals.
More Than Just a Weed Killer
Thermal weed control applies lethal heat directly to the plant's cell structure—causing weeds to wilt and die instantly to the root without leaving chemical residue in your soil, making it 100% safe for pets and children.
Beyond the garden, the Torch Burner is a high-powered multi-tool: perfectly calibrated for Japanese wood-charring (Shou Sugi Ban), melting driveway ice, and lighting outdoor fire pits or incinerators in seconds.
When is it safe to burn?
Always check your district's fire danger rating and any permit period before you light up. Acreage Guardian does that for you: it tells you the safe days to burn, from your local fire danger rating. See the weekly plan for horse properties.
Will it actually kill YOUR weed?
We get that phone call most weeks, so we wrote down the honest answer for every common weed — including the ones we tell people not to buy a burner for. Read the weed-by-weed guide, or go straight to capeweed, blackberry, fireweed, Paterson's curse, lantana, bindii, paspalum, nutgrass or bracken fern.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Torch Burner currently in stock in Australia?
Yes. We maintain local inventory. If you can add it to your cart, it is ready to ship directly from our warehouse.
What are your current shipping and dispatch times?
We dispatch twice a week, every Monday and Thursday, on our freight runs.
Do I need to buy a special gas bottle?
No. The Torch Burner connects directly to any standard Australian BBQ gas cylinder (POL fitting). Gas bottles are not included due to freight regulations. To save carrying the bottle around the property, we make a stainless Gas Bottle Trolley with big all-terrain wheels — it's $349 when it ships with the burner in the same consignment, or $399 on its own.
Do I need a flint lighter for it?
No. The Torch Burner has a built-in piezo spark lighter, so it lights itself with a click. You only need a flint striker on our other burners.
Why choose flame weeding over chemical sprays?
Flame weeding destroys weeds thermal-shock style without leaving harmful chemicals in your soil. It's safe for properties with dogs, cats, or vegetable beds.
