Very much a first world problem.
For lighting BBQs and the occasional fire (mainly log burner) I use a weed wand from Lidl with screw in gas cartridges.
Gas pressures being what they are, I seem to spend most of the life of the gas cartridge with low pressure. Enough to do the job, but not very quickly. Being instinctively tight I can't make myself throw away a cartridge that is 75% used up.
Now I have a spare 6 Kg propane cylinder (with a quick release adapter) and also an external gas point on the caravan. So in theory I could switch over to using a propane blow torch both at home and away, and operate mainly at full pressure with a hotter flame.
I have just looked on line and the Screwfix ones are "how much?" but the Amazon ones start at around £15-20.
I have regulators; haven't yet checked if they match the torch. I suspect that I will need another regulator as I'm seeing figures of 0.5 to 4 bar which is lower than the usual camping devices which (IIRC) are between 30 and 50 bar.
"Economy" adjustable regulator.
That would bump the price up a bit. Although some items seem to include the regulator.
OK
Anyone have a recommendation for a cheap and cheerful (but safe) gas torch?
Cheers
