 Pretty cool, does a decent job August 6, 2008
I ordered one of these becasue I was tired of pulling weeds from between the cracks on a patio I build that is a slate floor with sand filler surrounded by castle wall bricks with rose bushes behind. We have a lot of weeds that like to pop up and since our dogs play out there and eat grass poison was not an option. I bought this, got it a day later (thanks amazon!) and hooked it up to my grills propane tank. Instantly I lit it (why wait?!?!?) and man was this thing impressive! It's weeding with a flame thrower/torch. You literally only have to pass it over the weeds for a few seconds and they start to wilt. A day or two later they are dead. Now at this point you can pull them eaisly or relight your torch and burn em again! :) It by no means is "magic" but it does do the job as long as you aren't expecting the thing to vaporize weeds. It kills the cells of the plant and basically it starves it to death. I do recommend keeping the garden hose handy just because it's a safety issue.
 Good for dead vegetation August 1, 2008
Used this item, as per instructions, on my gravel driveway. Used a lot of propane in the process. It did burn the weed surface but did not kill the weeds themselves. The weeds grew back in about a week. Wound up using herbicide anyway. It did work very well in cleaning up already dead vegetation. I would recommend getting it for that purpose. Just make sure you're standing upwind to avoid breathing in smoke which may contain herbicide. I might be a little charitable giving it 3 stars.
Better name is 'flame thrower' July 27, 2008

Amazon delivered the weed dragon promptly. The thing does what is supposed to. I would warn people though, that it is something to use very carefully. One could get burned easily. Also, when you edge with it, or try to kill a weed in the middle of grass or near bushes, the heat from the flame will kill more than just the weed. But maybe one should expect that?
I killed weed growth a foot away from a rose bush and some of the rose bush leaves died from the flame's heat. Bush is okay though.

great idea!! July 19, 2008
I am enjoying using the weed dragon. It took some practice for me to learn to use it without leaving weeds behind or scorching my plants. Weeds take longer to regrow than when pulling them by hand. I now only weed by hand close to the plants and use the weed dragon everywhere else.
It doesn't say in the ad, but you need to use a refillable gas bottle with this model. I had an extra one from an old grill and a dolly to strap it onto, so I was all set to use it right away. If I had to buy those two items as well, it would be quite an expense.

Weeding the yard took days, now it was done in less than two hours and no returns yet. Even did the gutters in the street, neighbors have since borrowed the FLAME THROWER as the kids call it and cleaned up their yards. It is now an neighborhood asset.
