Flame King Propane Torch Kit — 340,000 BTU, 10-ft Hose, 32" Wand, Self-Igniting Heavy-Duty Burner

Flame King’s heavy-duty propane torch kit is a self-igniting, 340,000 BTU wand with a 10-foot hose built for demanding outdoor tasks like weed burning, ice melting, roofing and tar work.

This professional-style torch combines a long-reach 32-inch wand, a piezo ignitor for one-handed starts, and compatibility with standard propane cylinders to deliver concentrated heat where you need it. Designed for contractors and homeowners who need a portable, powerful heat source, the kit arrives fully assembled and CSA certified for reliable performance. Read on to understand how it works, what it’s good for, and how to use it safely.

How powerful is this torch and what does that mean in practice?

The Flame King torch produces up to 340,000 BTU with a flame length up to about 28 inches, making it suitable for heavy-duty outdoor jobs. That level of heat reaches and penetrates materials quickly compared with handheld lighters or small torches.

• Max output: 340,000 BTU for high-heat applications
• Flame reach: up to ~28 inches for wider area coverage
• Suitable for melting, thawing, and surface stripping where concentrated heat is required

What tasks can this kit handle around the home or job site?

This kit is multi-purpose: it’s marketed as a weed burner but also excels at melting ice and snow, removing paint and lot markings, thawing frozen pipes, softening tar and asphalt, and supporting roofing and woodworking preparations. Use it for surface work rather than precision finish work.

• Weed control and vegetation management on driveways and walkways
• Snow melting and ice removal from walkways and gutters
• Thawing frozen plumbing and heating equipment
• Roof repairs, tar softening, and striping removal

How easy and safe is it to start and operate?

The torch features a built-in piezo ignitor for quick, one-handed starts and an ergonomic grip plus a safety lever valve to help maintain control. It is CSA certified and ships fully assembled, but safe operation requires appropriate personal protective equipment and simple precautions.

• Self-igniting piezo system for reliable starts
• Ergonomic handle and safety lever for controlled operation
• 10-ft hose to reach awkward or distant areas without moving the cylinder
• CSA tested; follow recommended PPE: goggles, heavy gloves, and close-fitting clothing

Which propane tanks work with this torch and what setup comes in the box?

The Flame King torch connects to standard liquid propane cylinders from small portable tanks up to large stationary bottles. It arrives ready to use with the wand attached, a 10-foot hose, and basic assembly complete so you can start larger jobs quickly.

• Compatible sizes: 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 100 lb propane cylinders
• Comes fully assembled at 32 inches long for immediate use
• Includes 10-foot hose for extended reach on property or job site
• One-year manufacturer’s defect warranty

Who is this for: The Flame King 340,000 BTU torch kit is best suited for contractors, maintenance crews, and DIY homeowners who need a portable, high-heat tool for outdoor surface work — from aggressive weed control and ice removal to roofing and asphalt tasks. If you require a precise, low-heat soldering torch for delicate metalwork, this heavy-duty unit is more power than necessary; for fast, large-area heating jobs and professional maintenance applications, it’s designed to perform. Always use recommended protective gear and follow local regulations when operating open flames.
