Wanted - kerosene (or paraffin) blow lamp for burning out weeds in lawn

Bruce from Takaro

- I want to remove weeds from my lawn, and avoid toxic herbicides.
- Butane blow torches available at Bunnings cost about $1 a minute, so I want to use an old blow torch, see picture. Just use cheap kero or paraffin, which I have already. 'Used to be used by plumbers and mechanics, etc.
- The one I recently got from TradeMe, despite claiming it worked, didn't work well. I lacks a tight piston, that's all I really need (has to be leather to cope with heat, local shops don't have it). But maybe I'll find a working one here in Neighbourly. I've got inquiries going in India Online too. They use them over there.
- The Trading Centre on Tremaine has some but they look in very old condition and their piston may not work either. I want a working one.
