Cut it in pieces, sell it by the square inch.

If they liked the propane weed burner, they will love a genuine chunk of a Muskulaunch.

Hey I *LIKE* my propane weed burner. I prefer it to RoundUp and similar for my river rock flood diverters that flow into the lake.

After I tried Roundup on my fence line...A lot less mowing the next few years!

I too like my extended propane torch and much lower price than the Boring Flamethrower.
