Easy to use, easy to set up, takes practice to know how long to flame live weeds. Depending on the weed 10-20 seconds is sufficient but other thicker mats with deep roots may take multiple treatment. Always keep a hose close by and keep flame straight up and down rather than sideways to be most effective. The gas trolley is made for a large tank rather than the average smaller tank you may have around for your barbecue. Sound construction. Oh yeah – its also fun.

Really good product for the money. Simple design which eliminates maintenance, but does the job very well.

love this weed killer. works like a charm in the garden, in the crakes in the driveway, and around the fence. be careful though it doesn’t care what type of plant growth it kills

This thing works great, just as advertised. Our little farm is organic, so I never use chemicals for weed control. I have a couple of gas-powered string trimmers which I still have to use a few places, but since I got the Weed Dragon I now use it almost exclusively.

A couple of reasons I prefer this over the gas-powered string trimmers: 1) No messy mixing of gas and oil 2) It starts every time with just a flick of the flint striker gadget–no choking, priming, pulling, pulling, pulling… 3) Much quieter–I can listen to my iPod while using it.

Best feature of all: I’ve got several small ponds in the front and back of the house. With a string trimmer, the cut grass goes flying everywhere, mostly into the ponds, making a big mess to clean up. With the Weed Dragon, the weeds just wither in place with no extra cleanup required.

Tip: What I do around the water features is cook the weeds one day and then let them dry out for 2 or 3 days. At that point, they’re dry and brown and a little unsightly, so I go back over them with the Weed Dragon and toast them again. Since they’re brown and dry, they immediately flare up and turn to ash and disappear. The surrounding grass and weeds never catch fire, since they weren’t treated the first time. This double treatment leaves me with a clean, weed-free area and no residue. Note that you should still keep a fire extinguisher and hose nearby to make sure things don’t get out of control.
