Kitchen Butane Blow Torch Lighter - Culinary Torch Chef Cooking Torches Professional Adjustable Flame with Reverse Use for Creme, Brulee, BBQ, Baking, Jewelry by TENGYES, Butane Not Included

I use it to light some wood for campfires or to quickly light the charcoal. If my tank is low in fuel I use it for the torch so I can finish it up.

great for starting fire

The media could not be loaded. This is a great torch for the price point, it's got a built in ignitor button, so you don't have to worry about using a match or other lighter to start it up, the adjustable gas flow knob means you can just turn the gas flow on, pull the trigger to light it, an then fine tune the flame to your desired size, the fact that these run off butane cans means you can sit the torch upright and run it hands free, which is very useful, it's heat is more than you could need to light most anything,an it's also got the fine tuning knob in the front to soften the flame, I honestly wasn't expecting such a nice torch for the price, definitely would recommend, just make sure you get the right type of cans of butane fuel for it, I believe they are typically the 8oz cans.

Works as advertised. Comfortable, clean burning, & easily adjustable. Good finish tool for sous vide items, quick toast tostadas, honey baked ham, etc.

The media could not be loaded. Really good product for the price. Worked great right out the box. Both intensive and size of flame is adjustable. The durability seems reasonably as well.Just make sure you get the 8oz butane canisters meant for camping stoves, otherwise it may not fit

The media could not be loaded. I had concerns initially as this torch burner only fits on certain butane canisters which are hard to find anywhere locally via internet search. The torch burner itself is not expensive, but the shipping and handling of the butane canisters sold online are too high to be ignored for the overall cost. Luckily, I found out that Costco business centers carry them as lots of restaurants are using the butane burners which use the same type of canisters. So, without a second thought, I placed the order immediately. （Later, I bought Gasone butane canister and Iwatani butane canister on the Amazon. They are cheap and work well, too）I am glad I bought this torch. It is sooo easy to turn on and off, it is well made. Instructions are clear and simple. Flame its big and easy to control. The flame is around 22 cm when full throttle. I use it for cooking: creme brulee, searing beef, charring eggplants for Middle Eastern food, grilling skin side of fish fillets for interesting Japanese touch, getting the perfect texture on salmon belly, and touching up the skin of oven-roasted chicken.Pros:-Cheap Fuel-Steady, Hot, Wide flame-Adjustable flame intensity-Big. It sits well in the hand with a fuel can attached-Trigger for lighting the flame. No lighter or sparker required-Trigger does not control fuel flow. I thought this would be bad at first, but it would actually be a pain to have to hold the trigger down for extended useCons:- It didn't come with a butane canister.And finally, don't buy this torch as a present to a kid. Do not even use this product creatively anywhere near a kid.

I read many positive reviews along with the ones that warned of fiery disasters. I chalked-up the “disasters” to user error and thought I would give it a try. Upon personal examination of this torch I reconsidered that assumption. The connection and seal to the pressurized container appeared to be composed with weak materials, poorly machined and assembled. I could see where it might fail catastrophically after time. A decision was made to return this torch and look for something safer.

So easy to use and has a self-ignitor. Very powerful flame if you turn it up to high. Best used outside or on the stovetop so as not to catch your kitchen on fire but we are all professionals here, right?
