Powerful Cooking Propane Torch Lighter (Camouflage)

Got one of these originally for shop use, and ended up using it much more than expected, so I bought a few more. They are put to good use in the kitchen, shop, garage and camper, and I have found it to be the best lighter for the occasional cigar at home. One refill from the larger 8oz butane canister is convenient, cost effective, and lasts a long time. Many reviewers cite leakage, problems with the igniter, and sputtering fuel flow, but I experienced NONE of these issues. May be a problem with quality control at the manufacturer, but if you get one that works, you can't beat the value.

This thing is great for outdoor use. My husband loves starting the fire barrel with this

As advertised

OK, I'm getting into Sous Vide cooking, but who likes gray meat? Heard about Kitchen Torches for searing, great idea. I didn't want a tiny creme brulee device for big steaks. Saw some torches for almost $200 - Nope. Then I saw this FunOwlet for less than 30 bucks - had to try it. As a complete rookie on kitchen torches, I was excited to try it when it came today. I'm all ready to sear a test burger - and the darn thing wouldn't light! I had to use an electric arc lighter and it worked just fine. Oh, I had to make two trips to the local Walmart to get the right propane cannister (again rookie...) FYI there are the fat green bottles at Sporting Goods but the long slim ones are in Plumbing. Well, I wasn't happy with my new torch it wasn't easy to start and I'm literally playing with fire. I had to wait until it was dark outside in order to see why it didn't start right away. The piezoelectric sparker is very weak - it makes just a tiny spark. If I turned the gas up too high, the gas kept the air away from the spark and wouldn't ignite. If the gas was too low it wouldn't ignite either. So I had to turn the gas on just like Goldilocks, not too much not too little - just right. I'm sure with practice I'll get it more frequently. Honestly, that afternoon, I was disappointed and was going to return the device but with a little experimentation I think it's worth keeping (and not buying something a lot more expensive)

The media could not be loaded. One of my 'hobbies' is on the lookout for a reliable torch. One that doesn't fail you when you need them most! I've too many torches/lighters for various tasks... Butane Canister Torch, Flex head, Long neck, Torch lighter, Weed Flamethrower, etc. This review is with reference to my Torch collection and usage experience.Good - This FunOwlet Butane Torch Lighter is now my favorite jet flame utility torch. The entire body is made of metal, covered by rubberized material that serves as handle, and hard plastics for the flame control and on/off dial. With this metal body, I have no worries about it melting with prolonged usage or cracking after rough handling. My existing Blow Torch is a screw-on for a Butane Fuel Canister and is my most economical solution. Now with this new refillable Butane Torch, I no longer have to carry the additional Butane Fuel Canister. My wife has this 'fear of explosion' when attaching anything to a pressurized gas source. This refillable Butane Torch eliminates that concern (no more attachment) and makes her camping experience better. This Torch also has a much thinner jet flame; makes it less scary for her to use. Some reviewers mentioned you'll need to 'press & hold' the trigger continuously to have the flame. This is untrue as demonstrated by my attached video. You do have the ability the lock the trigger and keep the flame going.Refill Fuel Type - This Torch came empty (for combustion safety) and will need refill before first use. The picture I've posted shows 3 different butane fuels. From the left, the first item is this refillable Torch with the supplied red adapter, the second item is the commonly available Butane Fuel Canister (for Portable Butane Gas Stove) and is the most economical Butane of choice. The 3rd (Vector) and 4th (Neon) items are refills (refined & more expensive) meant for cigarette lighters (notice these have adapters that are much shorter) and have thinner nozzles not designed for refilling Torch lighter.Refilling - The gas inlet of this refillable FunOwlet Butane Torch is designed to work best with the Butane Fuel Canister (the second item) and the supplied adapter fits best with such Butane Fuel Canister. Or you can buy butane refill made for Torches (will be more expensive) that has longer and thicker nozzles. The supplied red adapter fitment is not perfect. Therefore, during refilling, you'll have to depress the Butane Canister against the Torch gas inlet really hard to prevent the pressurized butane from leaking. If this is your first time refilling, do search youtube on how it's done. The correct method is inverted because your goal is to fill up your new Torch with liquid butane (not gaseous state).Wish List - It would be great if the Torch has a window to reveal how much gas is left. Not a dealbreaker since I can usually tell when to refill by giving it a little shake.Camping is my primary use for this Torch. The long jet flame helps to easily reach the fire starters buried underneath those campfire logs. I do recommend this Torch.

Got this as a gift from seller. Excited to use this torch. Nice and quick way to sear meat. Looking forward to using it through out the summer.

So, works great for searing a crust on a sous vide steak. But...once the raccoon gets their hands on it.....planet of the apes has nothing on planet of the trash pandas. Seriously though.

I was hosting a party for a group was making a beef prime rib. Since it was crazy cold out and I didn’t have a pan to sear it I decided to give this a whirl to try and sear it.First off it was packaged really well. I screwed the fuel can in, activated the fuel and hit the ignite button. You can see from the pic it emits a really quality flame. You can adjust how intense the flame is with the thumb dial but what’s nice is that, from a safety perspective you can’t turn it on without activating the fuel and pressing the ignite button.It’s plastic so doesn’t weigh a lot but overall it’s a good value. I used a 1# camp stove fuel cylinder but you can use others or refillable ones too I guess. In the end it worked perfectly to sear my beef roast and was perfect for my needs.
