big paraffin-powered flame-thrower types are effective against
shallow-rooted weeds (great fun to use if you're a closet
pyromaniac!).


Oh I do so agree

You need a long leg and stout shoe though so you can bash out the flames
if they get a bit carried away on the grass though of course the idea is
to just pass over the weeds and not cremate them.

It's whizzo on dandelion clocks and if you have to go near the back of a
large compost heap where there 'might' be rats

I learnt the hard way, to always have a bucket of water on hand before I
fire up the flame gun :-)
