Questions & Answers
Hello,br>br>To keep the torch running, you do not need to hold the trigger in. To start the torch, simply press the trigger and the lock button (at the same time), then release the lock button. The torch will continue to run despite the fact that the trigger is locked. To release the trigger and turn off the torch, simply press the lock button once more. br>br>I hope my response has answered your question.
No, the cost of the fuel is not included.
Yes, it has a fuel level viewing window, so you can see how much fuel you've used and when you'll need to refill it.
By inserting the stem of a butane canister into the bottom of the torch and pressing hard, the fluid is transferred into the torch. You'll have to get them on their own.

This model has been owned by me under a variety of "brands" and color schemes. This is my favorite Chinese model because it feels great in the hand and has a lot of power. They typically last six to twelve months. With heavy use, it took 9 months. They have a dependable starter, or at least one that is more dependable than the flow control. (On most torches, I find that the starters wear out first. ) ) This model has a proclivity for developing a butane leak, which can be costly if you're filling it up every night only to discover it empty the next day. br>br>The unit I got from this company had the worst leak I've ever seen. I filled it to the brim, lit it to start the gas flow, and by the time I was ready to use it for the first time, it had leaked the entire tank, so I refilled it to the brim. I only used it once before it was empty the next time I reached for it. I'm guessing it was either defective at the factory or damaged during the process of packing it into this company's rather elaborate packaging.
I'm content with myself. When purchasing a culinary (or micro or crème brûlée) torch, these are the features to look for, in my opinion: 1. br>br> Hand guard (prevents unintentional use as well). 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br Fuel gauge (it's difficult enough to fill a tank without this). 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. Flame control knob that can be adjusted. 4. br>br> Please do not overpay. Cons. br>br>Cons. br>br>Cons. br>br>Cons. br>br> br>br>The instructions for filling it out on Amazon's description page are far superior to the ones included in the box (on the back of the box). 1. br>br> When first using the torch, depress the refill valve with a small screwdriver to drain any remaining fuel and air compression. I don't see why this should be done every time the bottle is refilled, as Amazon suggests. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br Using the upside-down torch, align the butane can and nozzle in a straight line. Check gauge and gently press butane down for five seconds; you'll probably need to do it again. Except in bright light, it's difficult for me to see the butane level. Leakage indicates a poor fit or a refusal to accept more (which can occur after half-filling). This is the most serious issue I'm dealing with - It's most likely a flaw in my personality. While filling the tank, do not pump the canister. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. WAIT 3- Before using, allow 5 minutes for the gas to stabilize (warm up), or it may EXPLODE! If you're like me and keep releasing the ignition switch before locking the trigger, you'll have to relight the engine. After that, you must wait 5 seconds before attempting it again. or you can count on being let down. This is my second biggest issue with the device, and it has everything to do with me being stupid. At the bottom, there appears to be a screw or adjustment knob. It wouldn't move, and nothing was said about it. 4. br>br> REMEMBER TO WAIT 5 MINUTES IN BETWEEN USE. When the water is hot, don't refill it. A full tank is supposed to last 60 minutes, but that must be at the lowest setting because it only lasts about 8 minutes at the highest (which is the only one I use) - there are enough steaks to feed three people. I can live with the fact that it isn't perfect. Despite the fact that I gave it a four-star rating, Because better would be too expensive, it is still the best buy. br>br>Only use butane that has been triple refined or better. Avoid getting too close to the food because the tip plastic may deform, affecting the delivery of butane to the torch tip. This improbable potential problem could be solved by spending a lot more money. Always use a fire-resistant surface and wear googles (or at the very least glasses) when working with fire. It can also be used for plumbing, jewelry, art, or simply lighting a cigar. It's ideal for caramelizing sugar, melting toppings or cheese, and roasting vegetables such as peppers. Again, my most common application is to brown steaks with a maillard effect. br>br>I prefer torched sous vide steak (which can be made by simply pouring hot water into a beer cooler) to pan-fried (overcooked) or grilled (due to lack of burn flavor). It is preferable to have a higher temperature. Atop a chimney grill starter (available on Amazon) is the best option. com/Chimney-French-Chimney-French-Chim Mate- Charcoal- Portable- Diameter- Chimneys/dp/B07QJD152L/ on Amazon and Chimneys/dp/B07QJD152L/ on Amazon. com/GrillPro com/GrillPro com/GrillPro com/ 39470- Chimney- Charcoal- B000FJU56K/starter/dp/B000FJU56K/starter/dp/B000FJU56K/start In my opinion, there is no clear winner between the two, just a difference in flavor (more smoky for the grill starter). This is a lot less difficult. This is also capable of a great deal more. As a result, I decided to purchase it. I'm content with myself.
So, I just got this a few days ago. I'd always wanted one and figured, what the hell, why not? I've already used it to avoid turning on the broiler and further heating up my already hot home. It came fully assembled; all I had to do was add the fuel, which was fairly simple if you've ever used a butane lighter. br>br>Once it was full, I made my first recipe, Korean corn cheese with melted parmesan on top, and then today I made a lazy snack of chili cheese fries, which I had to pull out. It was great for melting the cheese right on the plate rather than having to broil them in a separate pan. br>br>I would recommend this to anyone looking for a high-powered culinary torch that is well-made. Just be wary because this is 100% not a toy and as good as anything I have seen in restaurants I have seen in restaurants I have seen in restaurants I have seen.
This item is fantastic. It's a good fit for my hand, and it's simple to use. The trigger is simple to pull and has a safety button. It also has a large capacity for butane, so you won't have to refill it as often. So far, I've used it for cooking four times, and my only complaint is a minor one. To get it to light, you may need to pull the trigger a second time. But that's all there is to it; that's the only problem. Aside from that, the butane viewer is clear and easy to see, and the stand is sturdy and wide enough to prevent it from being knocked over or being quickly set down. Overall, I'm glad I have it and would suggest it to others.
There's still a lot of room for improvement in terms of both the product and the packaging! Before buying a product, I usually read the reviews, and this one had a lot of them. I thought it was just me, but I've spoken to two other people who bought the same one and had similar experiences. br>Perhaps an unlucky bunch? Anyway, I decided to keep it rather than deal with the hassle of returning it, but I'm still looking for a genuine Good Torch!.
To fit full-size butane bottles, I purchased this and a different brand adapter. It's a Swiss knife of torches, very easy to use, and the fuel gauge is a nice extra I wanted to make sure it was properly taking in butane during fill ups. I've had other cigar torch lighters without such a window and you can never tell if they're not filling up, or just have a bad lighting mechanism if they don't. In any case, it lights up nicely, and the fuel window is a nice touch. There are no issues at all.
