Canugghead said:@SkySaw Actually I found the recommended weedburners at this one-man shop near where you work, $39.99 for the big one with three nozzles, runs off 20lb cylinder, and $29.99 for the small one that runs off bottle. You may want to check them out during lunch or after work?

If you still want the mapp it's really easy to pricematch, just send the HD url to Lowes CSR during the chat, you can pick up in 1-2 hours at any location that has stock.
edit: what happened to your 'cane'? sounds like the $29 unit above.
The last cane-style burner that I had became dangerously unpredictable; I think the o-ring that seals the cane to the propane bottle must have become brittle after using it for about a year. It has made me a bit shy of the burners. Even though the burners are faster than the map-pro heads, I'm going to try your previous suggestion.
Thanks again for your really helpful recommendations! -

Using a torch does have some sparks and ember explosions that can be worrisome, but found the solution to be some second burn lump on the top, no sparks and catches quickly.
@fishlessman - could it be the torch you used? Bernzomatic is just fine, use it for copper pipe repair all the time, in fact Bernzomatic makes an extention hose that keeps the gas cylinder upright so you can use the torch in any position.BGE XL

SkySaw,You can get the Benzomatic weed torch at Lowes here in Canada. It is what I use and have been doing so for several years with no issue.

I have been using starter sticks for the last 3 years, but I think it is time to get one of these. I may be stopping by Lowes this weekend for one. They seem to have the one I like the best for the money. It would be nice to get my XL going in less time if possible during the week.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.
