The Draper 2000W Weed Burner utilizes high temperatures to thermally shock and destroy weeds. When the focused heat is applied to a weed, it causes the plant's cell walls to rupture, leading to wilting and eventual death within a few days. This method is most effective on young, actively growing weeds and prevents regrowth by damaging the root system.
For Weed Control: Apply the burner's nozzle directly to the weed for a few seconds until the leaves visibly wilt. There's no need to char or burn the weed to a crisp; the thermal shock is sufficient. This method is ideal for paths, patios, driveways, and between paving stones. Always ensure no flammable materials are nearby.
For Charcoal Lighting: Switch to the charcoal lighting nozzle (if applicable and provided for this model - product info states "interchangeable nozzle for charcoal lighting"). Direct the heat onto the charcoal briquettes or lumps in your BBQ or fire pit. The intense heat will quickly ignite the charcoal, significantly reducing the time it takes to get your grill ready compared to traditional firelighters. Start from the center and move outwards for even ignition.
Practical Tips:
For best results on weeds, use on a dry day.
Treat weeds when they are small and young for easier and more effective removal.
Position the fixed stand to safely cool down the burner after use.
Utilize the two heat settings: a lower setting for delicate areas or light tasks, and the higher setting for stubborn weeds or faster charcoal ignition.
Setup:
Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
Attach Handle: If the handle is detached for shipping, securely attach it to the main body of the burner. Ensure it clicks firmly into place or is tightened according to instructions.
Select Nozzle: Choose the appropriate nozzle for your task (weed burning or charcoal lighting) and attach it to the burner head. Ensure it is securely fitted.
Power Connection: Plug the 1.7M cable into a standard 230V mains power outlet. Ensure the outlet is suitable for a 2000W appliance.
