Product Information

Butane torches and propane torches look very similar but are different tools with different uses. As butane and propane are different fuels, they each burn slightly differently. This gives butane and propane torches different properties, making them appropriate for use in different situations.

Whether you’re searing the perfect crust on a rump roast or brazing a copper pipe fitting in a bathroom remodel, a butane torch is an essential tool to have at your disposal. A butane torch creates a flame that can reach a maximum temperature of about 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. These high temperatures—coupled with butane’s long flames, which can reach up to 6 inches long—make these torches capable of melting and soldering metals like copper and silver. Despite their ability to generate a powerful flame, butane torches are fairly small and easy to use. They usually weigh less than 2 pounds and are only about 10 inches long. Bernzomatic ST2200T Micro Butane Torch: Unlike its burly cousin, this mini torch offering from Bernzomatic fell flat in nearly every testing category. It took multiple tries to ignite, and the flame itself was the weakest of all models tested. Searing took a full two minutes longer than average, and the resulting crust was dry, relatively pale, and unappetizing. Longtime dabbers know what this means for you: It won’t clog your dab torch. And you won’t have to refill your dab torch as often. This gas torch also comes with a nine-piece accessory kit. You'll find a blower, a deflector, a flame diffuser, a soldering tip, wrenches, solder, tins, and a sponge inside. It's the perfect kit for versatility and easy use in a range of different situations.If you still have concerns about the safety and operation of butane torches, read on for answers to your most burning questions. Q: Are butane torches safe to use?

The area should be cleared of dust and debris – a broom and/or a blower should be used to clear the working area of anything flammable. A suitable fire extinguisher must be on hand in case of any accidents. Some people recommend having a wet towel handy so they can lay the torch down immediately after extinguishing it without damaging anything.You can adjust the flame to different sizes and temperatures. This allows you to use the IDEAcone Luxury Butane Culinary Torch for many different purposes. This ranges from small detailed kitchen work to high-powered welding or even lighting a cigar! The length of time a butane torch can burn for will vary significantly between different models of torches. This will depend on how efficiently the torch uses fuel and how much fuel the torch can hold. Burn times vary between half an hour and two hours, with some rare industrial butane torches potentially reaching three or four. Most torches are either a refillable canister or a torch head. The former are smaller and less bulky, making them a great option for beginners. Torches with refillable canisters have a small amount of butane in the handle and can be refilled from a separate butane canister. It’s always helpful when the refillable canister models show you how much butane is left so that you know when it’s time to refill. If you’re using the torch frequently, it can become somewhat annoying to constantly refill, but for the occasional torching, these refillable canisters are great. You should always refill your butane torch fuel container in a well-ventilated area, ideally outdoors. The most important part is ensuring you’re away from open flames, sparks, or other potential ignition hazards. You should also read the manual before you start, as it may come with specific safety warnings you should be aware of.
