Works on ice for me,
January 16, 2009
"I was skeptical after reading another review that the torch didn't work well on snow. My situation was that I had a half inch of ice built up on my sidewalk that was very slippery. This torch quickly took care of that ice for me and it was kind of fun. I'm just using a 20 lb propane tank like you've got on your grill.
One hint... it was -20 the night before. When I first hooked up the torch, it seemed pretty lame, but it was because my tank had been outside. I had to bring the tank in and let it warm up for a couple of hours, then the torch worked like a jet engine. Just be careful not to melt the soles of your boots."

Dual Turbo Propane Torch Kit - Great item,
March 6, 2007
"From packaging, delivery, quality, and operation... Great item. Easy to set up and use. These are used as burners for a dragstrip. We have to burn oils and liquids off of the racing surface. With the high pressure valve, we can concentrate the heat where we need it. Using the adjustment valve, we can throttle it down for small areas, or open it up for larger areas. I bought 4 of these. They all work great. Better than we expected... better than any we have used. Thanks for the quality and reliability. Be careful opening the tank valve to be sure the tank safety valve doesn't "trip" If it does, just bleed the pressure off and open the tank valve slowly. Be sure the propane torch is turned off to pressurize the hose before opening the torch valve or trying to light the torch."

Dual Turbo Propane Torch Kit — 1,125,000 BTU,
March 6, 2007
"I bought this torch to melt snow and ice from my sidewalk and driveway. I was extremely disapointed. I had to remain in one spot for a few minutes just to get through an inch of snow, it would have taken me hours to do just my walkway. I have not used the torch for weeds or anything else, so i cant comment on that aspect, but you are better off with a broom and some salt for melting snow and ice."
