I'm thinking of getting one for suppressing the weeds coming up through
gravel

does anyone out there use one and are they any good ?
do they use generic gas cartridges or do they have to be parasene ?

I got one a couple of years ago and it is rubbish.You are supposed to
lightly singe the weeds every week until the die back, it takes weeks to
have any effect. The only thing I use it for now is lighting the bonfire.
Save yourself your money and buy a systemic weedkiller to clear your garden
of weeds before remodelling it.
