#6 It's nothing more than a fancy expensive propane torch. It's not a flamethrower. The flame is maybe 3 feet long.

I want a REAL flamethrower.

#9 My HarborFreight flame thrower seems to go about 6 feet away. Last time I used it was to start a tree trunk on fire - the chain link fence next to trunk, had over the years, been incorporated into the trunk due to natural processes. It was by far the best solution to that problem. I have a pesky wild grape vine along that same fence that I "treat" with the flame thrower every few years, rather than dig the root bundle out. I wear my welding leathers when I use it, it gives off a LOT of radiant energy.
