CHAPIN Propane Weed Burner Torch 340,000 BTU — 6.5 ft Hose, Trigger Ignition, 20 lb Tank Connection

This propane weed burner offers a chemical-free way to tackle unwanted vegetation and delivers professional-grade heat for a variety of outdoor jobs. Built to connect to a standard 20 lb propane cylinder (tank not included), the unit features electric piezo ignition, a trigger-style flame control, and internal safety mechanisms to limit gas flow if a leak is detected. The combination of a long hose, one-handed trigger operation, and a high maximum temperature makes it suitable for landscaping, maintenance, and seasonal property work.

How hot and powerful is the CHAPIN 75113 for weed control?

The torch produces up to 340,000 BTU per hour and can reach temperatures near 1,850°F, producing a concentrated flame up to roughly 12 inches. That intensity is intended to scorch plant tissue quickly so seeds and flowering structures stop producing viable offspring. It’s designed to be used briefly over foliage and is not a substitute for heavy mechanical removal in dense root systems.

• Output: 340,000 BTU per hour and up to 1,850°F.
• Flame length: approximately 12 inches for targeted application.
• Connects to standard 20 lb propane tanks (tank not included).

What safety and control features does the torch include?

The burner has an ergonomic trigger and a gas valve for precise one-handed operation plus an electric piezo igniter for quick starts. A reinforced 6.5-foot PVC hose keeps the tank at a safe distance and reduces bending, while internal safety devices restrict gas flow if a leak is detected. Follow local fire codes and standard safety practices when using open flame tools.

• Electronic piezo ignition—no external battery required.
• Trigger lever and gas valve for controlled flame modulation.
• cCSAus certified 6.5-foot reinforced PVC hose for reach and safety.

Can I use the CHAPIN 75113 for jobs beyond killing weeds?

Yes—the torch is suitable for several maintenance and construction tasks where concentrated heat helps. Common uses include thawing frozen equipment, melting ice and snow on hard surfaces, assisting roofing work, heating adhesives, and aiding mortar or bricklaying in cold conditions. It’s a versatile heat tool but not designed as a precision torch for fine metalwork.

• Melts ice and snow from driveways and hardscape areas.
• Thaws frozen pipes or equipment in outdoor settings.
• Assists roofing, pavement marking removal, and masonry tasks.

Who is this for? Landscapers, grounds crews, property owners, contractors, and land managers who need a powerful, portable heat source for chemical-free weed control and seasonal outdoor maintenance will find the CHAPIN 75113 useful. It is intended for users who are comfortable operating propane equipment and following safety protocols; propane cylinder and fuel are sold separately. Chapin backs the product with a one-year limited warranty and U.S.-based customer support for parts and technical questions.
