Default Propane weed burner question

I've got a rock "lawn" and I would like to quit using herbicide for
killing weeds, and try scorching them instead.

There are a lot of weed / roofing torches on ebay and I was wondering if
there is anything to choose for or against in buying one. The one I'm
leaning toward getting says: "3000+ Fahrenheit" - that's enough, right?



Thanks


Maybe you need better herbicide.


Maybe they don't want to keep chancing that the herbicide will also affect
their plantings.

Maybe they just don't like storing and handling the extra chemicals.

Maybe it's a large area, and they just don't want to keep contaminating the
ground water, below.

Maybe.

The torch works good, but so many more bad
things can happen when using flames.


How many rocks can you name, that are flammable?

weird, people take prozac to make it normal.
