It can be used with any butane canister from any manufacturer that has a metal ring around the top with a 1/2" slit missing. (Canister with snap joint)br>These fuel canisters are designed to fit portable gas stoves or camp stoves. They can be found in sporting goods stores, restaurant supply stores, and any store that sells camping equipment. You could also purchase a Gasone or Iwatani Butane Fuel Canister from Amazon. The fuel canisters are extremely long-lasting!
We don't have a lighter for our blow torch. Butane does not leave a sour taste or odor. so don; It's not a problem.
Yes, I can remove it from the butane canister and not worry about it, but I still keep the original lid on the canister so it doesn't get pressed down in the drawer.
Both the torch and the canister's manufacturers recommend removing the torch for storage and keeping the canister away from any flammable sources. So, to answer your question, the answer is "Yes," BUT. It's inconvenient to store the canister separately, and my experience with these containers has shown that they can leak after being removed. As a result, I keep it connected and turned off tightly. So far, there have been no issues.

Please note the following disclaimer: I received this torch as a gift from FunOwlet to test. br>br>It is very similar to other Torches (Tengyes brand) in many aspects: br> I believe it is simply a matter of branding. br>br>This torch (which came with a small dent on the spout, but which has no bearing on its functionality and is purely cosmetic) starts much better than the other torch. However, since I only review one unit of each, it's possible that I just have a slightly defective Tengyes unit, which starts on the first try almost every time. br>br>However, this unit also has the same flimsy gas regulator. When the gas regulator is set to low and the unit is turned upside down (as shown in the video), the flame becomes excessively strong. If you aren't expecting it, this can be dangerous. If you must turn this unit upside down, you must do so with caution.
I have a portable gas stove that I can use. The same canisters are required for both. This is fantastic. It appeals to my tastes. I put it to the test. Don't mess with the metal price because it rises quickly. Allow for cooling time. It'll be a wonderful addition.
I already had a Chef Master torch that I bought from Restaurant Depot for 25% more than this one cost. That one is ok, but it has only one setting once lit. The front adjustment knob (not the rear gas on/off/gas flow adjustment knob at the back of the torch) allows you to choose between a wide dispersed flame and a sharp, narrow flame. This is a fantastic feature. br>br>The problem I've had is that when the adjustment knob near the front is turned around to the wide flame, it won't light. When the front knob is fully counter-clockwise, it will turn on. The narrow flame position (looking from the back of the torch, safely away from you) should be rotated clockwise. br>br>The torch would not light the second time I tried it. When I fidgeted with it a little more and discovered this problem, I was ready to return it. Simply be aware of it and try not to forget it if it has been a long time since you used it.
I went out a few weeks ago to get a second one for our travel trailer. They ate now for $65, much to my surprise. 99 dollars is a significant increase over what I paid five years ago. I decided to look around to see if I could find a model that was similar to the Iwatani at a lower price. I then came across this Model, which was a quarter of the price of the Iwatani at the time, and decided to give it a try. The only difference between it and the Iwatani is the shape of the connection, which is designed to work against butane cane. The Iwatani is round, while this one is shaped like a star. This is the only part of the puzzle that I am unsure about. When I connect it to a can I hear a sssshhh sound for a split second as if a little gas is leaking and does not feel 100% secure there is a little bit I don't smell gas, it doesn't make a sound, and it doesn't appear to leak when I move it around, though I'm worried it won't hold up over time. The Iwatani doesn't make this sound. With all that said for the money it is a great deal I could buy 4 or 5 for the price of an Iwatani right now so if I were to buy another one I.
The Funowlet torch head is a huge improvement over the previous product I bought. Attaches quickly and easily to any standard butane canister for a camp stove. This device quickly heats any surface it comes into contact with, including steaks, coals, creme brulee, vegetables, and so on. I would only use this product outside because it is small enough to store in a drawer and easy to transport. This is something I would recommend to anyone who enjoys cooking or camping.
I was so taken with these torches that I purchased one for my son. This torch is the ideal Christmas present for someone who already has everything. It also doesn't cost a lot of money. It's entertaining to work with. br>br>I really like this butane torch. It is extremely simple to operate. Simply align the cut-out notch in the fuel canister with the same-size black plastic tab on the torch valve to install the torch onto the fuel tank. Turn the torch head about a quarter turn; it isn't necessary or desirable to turn it any further. If you turn it too much, the seal on the unit will most likely be damaged. You'll be an expert at installing and removing the fuel canister after your first practice attempt. Do not put any pressure on yourself. For it, I use GasOne gasoline. br>br>Excellent for browning pepperoni and crust on a homemade pizzabr>br>The torch can produce a large flame and can be adjusted in size, intensity, and shape (pointed or roundish). If you turn up the air setting center knob on this model, you can get a soft white tip flame as well. It also includes a user manual. br>br> China is the source of this product.
To begin with, I love that I can use the butane fuel canisters from my butane stove, which I use frequently for Korean BBQ and hot pot. For refilling, I don't need to purchase any other types of butane canisters. I purchased this torch to make it easier to control the flame that charred my BBQ steaks. Because my BBQ grill's heating tubes have worn out and flared up, it's difficult to get a consistent char on my steak grill. Anyway, I like this torch because it allows me to precisely control the flame, which ranges from weak to strong. Maybe I'll try soldering copper plumbing with this torch.
