It's a bunch of pure bull****.


How many times have you tried doing exactly that?

I don't plan on removing the torch head, but for anyone who regularly
does, they definitely should try that and find out.

Somehow I doubt that farmer is a master at video editing. If I were
really interested, I would ask which torch head he was using. Apparently
the propane tanks were the common Coleman kind.


I wonder. Firstly, propane gas is heavier than air and secondly
propane boils at minus 44 degrees (F) at sea level. So how much will
be left inside a torch body after more than a second?

Yes, I saw the guy do it but I would guess that had he waited one more
second his "trick" wouldn't have worked.
