FunOwlet Butane Torch, Reverse Use Culinary Kitchen Blow Lighter with Adjustable Flame, Butane Fuel Not Included, Ideal for Chef Cooking, Creme, Brulee, BBQ, Baking, Jewelry

Easy to light and compact. I use it for lighting a smoker for beekeeping, and this is a big improvement over cheap butane lighters.

As a dad who loves spending time in the kitchen—especially when it comes to trying out new recipes or making weekend treats for the family—the Butane Torch Kitchen Blow Lighter has been a fun and surprisingly useful tool.I originally got it for crème brûlée (because yes, I wanted to impress the kids with that caramelized sugar top), but it’s turned into a go-to for a bunch of other things—like searing steaks, toasting marshmallows indoors, and even crisping cheese on nachos. It feels solid in the hand and ignites easily with a single press, which I appreciate when I’ve got little ones running around and dinner halfway done.It’s also got adjustable flame control, so I can keep things safe and precise, especially when I’m torching something delicate. The safety lock is a nice feature, too—adds peace of mind when there are curious little hands in the kitchen.Refilling it with butane is pretty simple once you get the hang of it, and it lasts quite a while between refills.Honestly, it’s one of those “dad gadgets” that makes you feel a little cooler while doing something useful. Definitely worth it if you like to experiment in the kitchen or just want to take your cooking up a notch.

The media could not be loaded. Bought this torch to finish off the sou vide tomahawk steak that was too big for my carbon steel pan. I was worried that it will not be hot enough (as per view comparisons on butane torches vs flame throwers on YouTube), but it turns out just fine for me. Seared the steak for around 3-5 mins on each side and achieved a good result. I use it for a sous vide steak, hence the temperature is enough to finish off the steak, but will definitely be NOT enough to cook a raw steak even if its thinner.As a beginner for using a butane torch, its easy enough to use. The flame it throws is longer then I expect, especially the soft flame mode, which burst significantly longer and less controllable. I set my cabinet on fire for a brief second, luckily my cabinet is material is flame retardant and I suspect it only burned away the oily/dusty/chemically cleaned surface away.Overall, I got what I want with this torch, just use it with enough space plus some extra to be cautious. I will only use the soft flame mode outdoor.

A great product, works just as described and a great price for such a product.I use it to light my smoker pellet tube for my BBQ grill, but I can see it also handy for cooking and other household uses.So convenient to use, just a simple press and twist onto the top of a standard butane canister. I have several butane canisters for my camp stove, so having a torch that fits on top of those is very handy. I highly recommend this item.

This was a gift but I have owned this same torch for several years. It is safely designed and sturdy. What I like the best is it attaches directly to cans of butane, no need to fill anything. It goes from low to high flame with the twist of a knob and it is not necessary to keep depressing the trigger.

I picked this up as a cheap replacement after my Iwatani torch gave up from a decade of use. The ignitor on the new unit quickly stopped sparking, which meant I had to light it manually - with a lighter. The flame coming out of the end was a weak yellow flame. Adjusting the air intake and gas flow did not help.I was not able to achieve the strong blue flame I was accustomed to having. After the 3rd use, the unit began to leak, with a noticeable hissing sound. I tried the burner unit with a new butane can and still had the same issues.There were a lot of positive reviews on this item, so it’s possible I just got a “lemon”. I threw it away yesterday and ordered another Iwatani. This is the main style of torch I like to use in the kitchen, and to light my charcoal grill and smoker.

Works well with the butane cans that we purchase at the local Asian market. The heat and adjustment are largely dependent on how much fuel is left in the cannister, but the adjustment works fine and you can see the flame as you tune.The lighter locks in securely and I don't hear any hissing/smell much leakage, but I'm always cautious anyway. The unit does get pretty hot with lots of use, so I generally practice extra caution when handling.Great little tool for camping trips, too.

Arrived as promised and works great. Very easy to use. Using to start my pizza oven and bee smoker.
