The Blaze™ Flame Weeder - Tank Mounted
- In stock, ready to ship
The Blaze™ Tank-Mounted Flame Weeder is designed for fast pre-emergence flame weeding and stale seedbed preparation on market farms.
The Blaze Flame Blade provides full-bed flame coverage while the wheeled tank-mounted frame keeps the propane tank with the machine for easy movement between beds.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Blaze Tank-Mounted Flame Weeder in the selected width
- Squeeze valve
- Adjustable regulator
Propane tank is not included. A standard 20 lb BBQ-style propane tank is recommended.
ESTIMATED PROPANE HEAT INPUT (BTU/HR)
Based on the 30" model’s approximate 2-hour runtime with one 20 lb propane tank, its estimated heat input is about 216,000 BTU/hr. If propane consumption increases in proportion to Flame Blade width at comparable operating settings, the estimated figures are:
- 30" Flame Blade: approximately 216,000 BTU/hr (baseline)
- 40" Flame Blade: approximately 288,000 BTU/hr (33% longer than 30")
- 48" Flame Blade: approximately 346,000 BTU/hr (60% longer than 30")
These are fuel-consumption-based estimates, not measured or certified maximum burner ratings. Actual propane heat input depends on regulator setting and fuel flow.
40" and 48" models: The optional Two-Tank Setup is recommended to provide additional propane capacity and extend operating time between tank changes. It is recommended, not required.
30" model propane runtime: Approximately 2 hours using one standard 20 lb propane tank, or approximately 4 hours with two 20 lb tanks at the same regulator setting. Actual runtime varies with regulator setting and propane consumption.
COMPATIBLE ACCESSORIES
Extra Tank Mount Kit — Adds a second propane tank to extend run time.
High Heat Shield — Adds hose and tank protection when operating at higher heat.
Cup or Torch Holder — Holds a compatible tumbler or the lighting torch.

All-Stainless Cradle
Super Duty Tank Holder
Standard Features
Squeeze Valve
Standard equipment. The machined brass valve is equipped with a set-and-forget pilot for easy lighting. Transport with the pilot flame, then depress the lever for full flame. This helps conserve propane and makes operation easier.
Stainless Bed Wheel
The expanded bed wheel makes the flame weeder easy to roll over soil and eliminates the need to hold flame torches above the ground. It maintains the Flame Blade at the proper height. Designed for soil only. Patent pending.
Tank Holder
Made with a stainless-steel base and support, a super-heavy-duty custom doubled bungee, and stainless hardware. An optional two-tank setup is available.
Flat Free Tires
Rubber-grip, flat-free tires are fitted with ABS rims, stainless bearings, and a stainless axle for long service life.
Stainless Flame Blade
Effective and efficient blade made of heavy-duty stainless steel. Lights easily and stays lit even in the wind. Patent pending.
Quick Handle Adjustment
Aluminum hand lever with stainless steel mechanism to easily change handle height in the field without tools.
Comfort Grips
Soft rubber grips make extended use more comfortable and help you take advantage of the 120+ minute run time* on a single tank.
*30-inch Blaze model; actual runtime varies with regulator setting and propane consumption.
Adjustable Regulator
The Blaze includes a high-end adjustable regulator, ranging from a low burn to high output.
All-Stainless Cradle
Entire cradle built for many lifetimes of use. It also flips to clear raised beds. 11" clearance when in flipped position.

Unique Bed Wheel
Easy to Transport
Large transport wheels make it effortless to transport The Blaze around the farm. Transport wheels are indestructible ABS with stainless steel bearings and axle. When combined with the stainless steel bed flame blade wheel, you are ensured convenient transport and blade flame height consistency. Patent pending.
Four Times More Effective
Unlike traditional flame weeders which just duplicate bell torches, the Flame Blade has a consistent burn across the entire bed. This means that no weeds are left behind and the burner does not need to run at soaring temperatures to try to bridge the gaps between torches.
Easy to Light and Wind Resistant
Once you set the adjustable regulator, lighting is simple. The Flame Blade is wind-resistant and stays lit even in gusty conditions.
Standard Feature
Squeeze Valve
The Blaze includes a squeeze valve as standard equipment. The valve allows lighting and transport with a low, adjustable pilot flame; depressing the handle engages the regulator's full operating setting. This makes flame control easier and helps reduce unnecessary propane use.
Fewer Trips to Refill Tanks
Two-Tank Setup
The optional two-tank setup is recommended for the 40-inch and 48-inch Blaze models to provide additional propane capacity and extend operating time between tank changes. For the 30-inch Blaze, expect approximately 2 hours of runtime with one 20 lb propane tank, or approximately 4 hours with two tanks at the same regulator setting. Actual runtime varies with regulator setting and propane consumption.
Option
High Heat Shield
While we recommend keeping flame height low, we offer an optional heat shield for higher-heat operation. It provides additional protection for the hose and propane tank while using the Blaze Tank-Mounted Flame Weeder.
Bad for Weeds, Good for Soil
Will not Hurt the Soil Life
Soil is an excellent insulator so flaming does not affect the life within your soil. Flaming to control weeds is the choice at Neversink rather than plastic mulch.
Adjustable Height
You can set the cradle and Flame Blade to match the height of your bed.
Will not kill mature grass
Perfect for Growing Beds
Flame weeders are designed to kill young weeds in farm rows and garden beds. They do not penetrate the soil to kill roots and are therefore ineffective on established plants. Attempting to use a flame weeder this way wastes propane, can damage the tool, and the weeds will grow back.
