Got it lit nicely but you don't need to charcoal the plants like he did
just waft it over. The blast of heat will do enough damage to the plant
cells for them to wilt and die back in a day or two. Even our tiddly gas
powered flame gun just needs a waft over let alone a brute like an X300.


It looked like he was in EXTERMINATE mode.

LOL I have heard from someone who used to have one in England, that
the weeds whose roots were under, say, a patio, came back as only the
top layer was burnt.
