I have a long reach Lidl weed burner which uses gas cartridges.
Of course they aren't on sale at the moment so you would have to wait up
to 6 months.
I think you missed them by about 1.5 months.

Something similar to

Very useful for lighting BBQs, wood burning stoves and the like.

Google for "weed wand" and you will find loads on eBay.

Are they any good for their proclaimed purpose? Do they really burn
weeds effectively?


You only need to cook them to kill them. They are good at killing
weeds but they need regular use at this time of year to stop new
growth.
