Hood for pre-emergence flame weeding and stale seedbed preparation.
The Flame is a hood or shroud that simply clamps onto the head of any standard sized torch with a bell diameter of 2” to 2.5”. The shroud converts a backpack torch flame weeder into a fast, efficient rolling bed flamer. Hood is 15” wide for just two passes on a 30” bed.
Included is the stainless steel hood with an aluminum wheel and clamps for torch attachment.

the simplest flame weeder solution
Bad for Weeds but..
Will Not Hurt Soil Life
Soil is an excellent insulator so flaming does not affect the life within your soil. Flaming and planting is the choice at Neversink rather than plastic mulch.
The Flame
What is Needed?
Tank - 10lb Tank recommended or smaller
Torch - We have tested these torches and find they fit in the hood. We have not tested any other torches.
Regulator - A must-have to control propane. We sell the best.
Backpack - Any comfortable backpack works in this situation as long as the tank fits.
Squeeze Valve
Must Have
This valve enables you to light and transport the flame weeder with a low adjustable pilot flame. When the handle is depressed, your regulator flame setting is then fully engaged. A squeeze valve is safer and also more efficient.
