could find a torch like that. I've been looking for one of them for
years.


I got mine at Harbor Freight. They had 2 choices:

Without Igniter:

With Igniter:

http://www.harborfreight.com/propane...ter-91037.html

The igniter is well worth the extra money.


Just curious, how long is that torch?
In other words, do I have to bend over to torch weeds, or is it long
enough (like about 30" to 36") so I can torch the weeds without bending
over.

The HF webpage does not give the size measurements for it.

As much as I dislike HF, I'm considering buying this, just because I
cant find anything else like it, (that's affordable anyhow).


Never mind, they do give the size. 22 1/2". I missed that when I first
looked.

Kind of shorter than I hoped, but it still will help me (I guess).

Hopefully it will work more than once. I have never been happy with
anyhing from HF. But if it solves this horse gate problem, and I have to
throw it away afterwards, I guess it's worth the $32. I was planning to
pay $25 to rent a torch for a day, but the local tool rental place dont
have any torches, except aceteline sp / oxygen cutting torches.
