It is harder and harder to tell Metro Detroit from the setting for a Mad Max movie

I don’t know, it couldn’t make Detroit worse. In fact I think flamethrower owners in the area should get grants for urban planning.

Agent Orange and napalm would be faster and more efficient...

We call those things “pearburners”-not “flamethrowers”-they are a common tool on ranches, but I can’t imagine they would be used for anything in a city that wasn’t dangerous to someone...

I was expecting something like a propane weed burner but this unit is an actual flamethrower. Pretty cool.

I remember an old Lassie show in which a farmer uses a flame thrower to control a locust infestation.
I understand Detroit is full of locusts that need to be controlled.

Yes, but you can’t buy napalm and agent orange at the ranch store...

The mayor can call these “pretty specious” and “silly,” but they’ve used them on farms for years just for that purpose.
I used one on my uncle’s farm back in the early 60’s.

I should probably get one of those for weed and yellow jacket control.
My wife has been telling me for years that my “backpack sprayer filled with gasoline” method is dangerous...

$900-$1600 each.
I’m going to pass on one of these. Harbor Freight should be selling knockoffs in the $30-$40 range in a couple months.

Mix a little Tide powdered detergent into the gasoline first.
It makes it thicker and ‘sticky’. Works a lot better.
