Flame King FK-PV777CGA Mini Propane Blow Torch Head 10,000 BTU for Kitchen, Soldering, Searing, Charcoal/Fire Pit Lighting

I bought this torch to light my wood pellet pizza oven and now I'm using it in the kitchen frequently. It's great and compact when paired with the small refillable propane bottle from Flame King.It's very easy to use. Just twist the valve on the back until you hear propane hissing out, then press the valve in to strike the piezo igniter and you're in business.I'm using it mostly to melt cheese on things. Have you ever had a Sloppy Joe with melted cheddar on it? I just did.

Did not work initially. Other reviewers seemed to have a similar problem. Easy fix though at least with mine. The wire that delivers the spark to the end of the torch was slightly bent and did not reach the end so would not ignite the gas. Take off the cover shroud (one and only screw on side). Slide off cover. Gently straighten wire and pull to end leaving a small gap (1/8" maybe). Test and see that the spark is arcing to the end of the brass burner. Replace cover. I did that and it works perfectly now. I suspect that the wire gets bent while banging around during shipment as it is easily bent. Would have given 5 stars of it was that way when received. All and all a good unit.

Igniter failed shortly after return wind ended. It's now a lighter that only lights with another lighter.

We like the item, but the push button igniter doesn't work, so it will be returned. Not going to deal with using a lighter to get the flame.

This small torch works phenomenally well I have actually come to the conclusion it burns hotter than the conventional propane torches I have been using for the past 50 years. Also works great for sweating copper pipe very quickly. the ease of use in tight locations is great since it is very compact. Also quickly lights my Big Green Egg. No problem with the lighting mechanism I have found if you don't drop it then usually the piezoelectric starter will work indefinitely.Also for stability I took a big chunk of packing foam and my Sharp pocket knife and created this very stable stand because with the small 1/4 lb self refillable propane tank it was way too top heavy. Oh by the way.... I greatly recommend the refillable propane tanks and fill system it's paid for itself in a month of use. Actually it was more like a week.Works great been using for a week now daily. It is used in the kitchen and for other recreational uses. I find so many uses for these small tanks. Only takes a minute to fill.

Seems like a great torch, but it is VERY much bigger than I expected!

Wow, I'm impressed. This little thing shoots out a flame that is about twice that of a standard "bernzomatic" type pencil torch that is often used for sweating copper pipe. It's small. It's easy to use. The push button ignition works well. The price was reasonable. I don't have a single bad thing to say about it.

Easy to use & looks like it should hold up I hope
