Never heard of those. Had to look it up. Aside from setting a fire upwind of a zombie hoard, what uses do you want it for?
Fire fighters use it to set back fires, clear land, clear safety zones... All kinds of good stuff.
I have 25 acres and a small farm and if a field sits unused for much more than a year the grass starts to get crowded out by plants livestock won't eat so I burn it off. If also helps the soil, I burn off my garden, and a couple food plots. Using I don't like lugging a propane tank around with the wand, way to comber some and heavy for any real use. I have been using a pump sprayer for years and just starting a small fire and spraying a trail for the fire to follow but it's starting to get old. First even with diesel I know it won't explode but have a wife and son and don't want to tempt fate any longer. Second the sprayers don't last. The diesel and kerosene or gas destroy them rather quick. You have to buy the better commercial sprayers to get any kind of longevity out of them cause the O rings just don't last at all. Even then I am buying 1 a year and at $40-$45 a whack I could have bought a drip torch several times over so I am just gonna do it this year.

My wife and I were just talking about goats, tiring to determine what the costs would be to feed through the winter on such. I want to get a couple beefers in the next year or 2 so want to get it cleaned up nice.
