Im not a chef by any means of the title but instead bought this beauty for a few other purposes, lighting BBQs, lighting my garden fires, heating up seized nuts, bolts, parts etc when working on my car. When working on the driveway and space under my car is limited and the fact that i dont have any welding/cutting equipment to heat stuff up this is a handy little torch so much so that i now have 2 this one and a spare just in case. Would recommend to any DIY mechanic and obviously for the other forementioned uses.
