Flame thrower? Restricted or non restricted

[silverfoxdj]

As far as I understand it, completely unregulated. Local bylaws may apply. For more information, read my Sig line.

Agreed you may just find you can only use it to light your BBQ

Finally....yellow jacket defence.

Neither. Its for sure prohibited in Canada.

I second the weed control aspect of it...

^^^you must have a huge pile of weeds to require one of those things, you wouldn't have much use for your lawnmower afterwards.

Neither. Its for sure prohibited in Canada.

They use propane flame throwers all the time when they are working on roads in the wintertime and patching tar roofs

You just have to call it a "roadwork torch" and you're good to go

(Just like "Patrol Carbines" aren't "assault rifles")

Great home defense option

Only if you're planning a on Soviet style scorched earth defense.

I see they made a new model. I been keeping an eye on these for years. Super neat.

Those are not really a flame "thrower" just a big torch good only for close up work.

It is legal to use them on animals, but not on humans, so there is some regulation.

How so would they be used on animals?

I have seen the real things in action ( a machine gun shoot ) there are awe Inspiring in a terrifying way !! We were over 100 yards a way ( Parallel to it) and you could really feel the heat !! They have noise its all there own . It was real cool to see it but kinda put me off on the cool factor . Especially when you remember what they were designed for ! The guy that had it , befor he used it ,had a bunch of people that were lined up that were willing to pay to try it , not to many were left afterwards. He was talking and said that he hated using it ( something about strapping three gallons of fuel to your back under 300 psi and not knowing if and when it would hold together ) and would have a hard time selling it for fear that someone would get kill with it ! Ya play with fire ya gonna get burnt !!
So a flame thrower for me is a last choice tool and in no way considered a toy ! And yes I have been burned ! Its not something you forget easily !

I want one for burning brush piles at work

Rest In Peace Mike, ya crazy bastard. Keep me a seat in Valhalla.
