    Those things are so handy! When we lived in the Interior of Alaska and didn't have electricity (so couldn't plug an engine block heater in), sometimes we used a flame thrower like this to heat the car engine up enough for it to start (running the flame through two lengths of stove pipe, so only heat was going up under the engine, not actual flame -- my brother burned a vehicle up before we learned that trick!).

    I remember using a version of this in 1972 to clear a parking lot of weeds. Lots of fun. The version I used ran on kerosene. you had a pump in the handle that put air pressure in the kerosene tank. Crazy dangerous. I didn't know that you only had to heat the weeds. I burned them right down to the ground.
