The Blaze™ Flame Weeder is a 15" wide flame weeder designed for portability around market farms, gardens, and hoop houses.
The Blaze Flame Blade provides broad, even flame coverage for pre-emergence flaming and stale seedbed preparation. Its compact design makes it easy to move between beds and into protected growing spaces.
Propane tank is required and not included.
Current tank guidance:
- 10 lb propane tank — approximately 180 minutes of run time
- 5 lb propane tank — approximately 90 minutes of run time
Recommended accessories
- Adjustable Regulator — a regulator should always be used with the flame weeder.
- Squeeze Valve — highly recommended for easier lighting, transport, and flame control.
- Flame Weeder Lighting Torch — butane torch for dependable lighting.

Light
Easy to Transport
The 15-inch Blaze can be easily carried with one hand, making it easy to move anywhere on the farm.
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.
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.
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.
Recommended Option
Squeeze Valve
Machined brass valve 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.
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.

Safety
Always use a flame weeder with a regulator and a squeeze valve. Keep temperatures low. Weeds die at 160°F. Using a flame weeder at higher temperatures is not more effective, can damage the tool, and is dangerous. When in doubt, turn the temperature down. Watch all of our instructional videos before use.
