That's literally all I was thinking the whole video "man i wonder what would happen if he burned a jar of miracle whip?" And oh boy did you deliver. Science is important.
Those things are so handy! When we lived in the Interior of Alaska and didn't have electricity (so couldn't plug an engine block heater in), sometimes we used a flame thrower like this to heat the car engine up enough for it to start (running the flame through two lengths of stove pipe, so only heat was going up under the engine, not actual flame -- my brother burned a vehicle up before we learned that trick!).
I love the wagon! Looks like my red radio flyer. Mine is red with a bum wheel. I still drag it around the yard. Haha. I like that burn technique. Kindof reminds me of something else but it's a weed destroyer. Good!! Job David
You know that scene from lotr where theoden rides by hitting his sword against the horseman's? I'm imagining all of David's kids with marshmallows on sticks and him running by torching the marshmallows. Cheers all!
The most entertaining product demonstration evar! I want one now!... But my lady would kill me (probably with the weed dragon). Your brother's shirt was a nice touch tho! Lol
Have you tried a cut in half coffee can or very large soup can attached to a handle, a stick, for a flame shield. That’s how I flame weed my vineyard without torching the vines. It might work for your annuals.
Used them in industrial and corporate campuses I managed in Seattle- set the tank up with backpack straps and sent guys out for weed control on damp days.... Union Fire Department saw, demanded inspections, cash for permits- so we went back to roundup/trimec/surflan as post emergent.
I remember using a version of this in 1972 to clear a parking lot of weeds. Lots of fun. The version I used ran on kerosene. you had a pump in the handle that put air pressure in the kerosene tank. Crazy dangerous. I didn't know that you only had to heat the weeds. I burned them right down to the ground.
but only use it at lowest heat, enough to heat the pipe rim, no flame out the end, maybe just with pilot light, some dont have the trigger and pilot light system, just a tap to set the flow of gas
I like greenbriers. They make a decent leaf vegetable, and the fruit is good for making into fruit syrup for soda and things (not particularly tasty fresh).
It’s all about respect, and asking for help when you need it, when I seen that the fire was leaving his property and about to hit my sisters pump house I had to call for help, even though he insisted he had it under control, when they stopped the fire it was all the way to the street, I’m sure it was an accident, on the bright side there was no damage, no one got hurt
Also, I just read that those cabbage moths are territorial. You can find paper decoy printouts and hang them around as a deterrent. I have not tried it yet.
Thats one mean lookin torch wagon! You should have clipped the young smilax tips first. They are delicious and taste like asparagus. I munch them when im hiking.
I've been looking for a reasonably priced weed burner since I moved to the UK, and didn't know that amazon shipped this one (and only this specific brand) overseas.
@@davidthegood I bought one from China and it straight up did not work. Thanks for letting me know about this one and I hope Jeff Bezos' pennies reach you swiftly.
Having grown up and lived most of my life in the west, with very dry summers, I'm cringing as I watch this, and hoping you have a garden hose handy just in case! But I suppose in your area it's probably fairly safe. My daughter was perplexed at the Miracle Whip: "Eww! Mess!" was her comment!
I think I saw one those tools on the history channel. That tool looks good for weeding the garden and clearing out machine gun nest or melting snowflakes? Awesome! : )
don't worry the smilax will return if it is established. can anyone confirm if the red berry smilax are edible? I ate 1 once and was fine but even the Green Deane did not know if it was edible.
Smilax has to be dug up to be gotten rid of. I remember digging up 3 baskets full in my front yard in St. Augustine! Btw, I saw somewhere online that they were edible though I always thought at the time that they were poisonous. Any idea?
@@davidthegood hahah. The root structure, it reads, chokes out and kills other plants in its massive radius. I have not tried it myself as of yet. Going to try and clear a park pad with the method and see if it holds merit.
You taught me to eat smilax and now you show me your family doesn't love them for breakfast! I am disappointed! But good use of Miracle Whip! I want a flame weeder! but I will eat all the smilax that haven't been sprayed by the neighbor!
@@davidthegood hope it was on good terms. I usually just watch here anyways but was looking for one of the longer videos you had up on unauthorized. Should probably stop being a cheap skate and buy your book already. I appreciate your content!

"I know what you're thinking. What if we burned a jar of Miracle Whip?" Yep, read my mind precisely.
I was thinking a vegetable that should not be named. Starts with a Z.
I don't think I was thinking it. But I appreciated it and found it most fitting when it occurred.
Ditto Scott! Ditto! 😂🤣
"This is not a safety video, I just like the fire."......My Brother 🤜🤛
Congratulations on finding the best use for a jar of Miracle Whip.
Needs a music video with his son shredding guitar lol
Another mostly peaceful gardening video.
😂
As soon as I saw the Miracle Whip I thought to myself...."This is hands down the best gardening channel."
Those things are so handy! When we lived in the Interior of Alaska and didn't have electricity (so couldn't plug an engine block heater in), sometimes we used a flame thrower like this to heat the car engine up enough for it to start (running the flame through two lengths of stove pipe, so only heat was going up under the engine, not actual flame -- my brother burned a vehicle up before we learned that trick!).
on the news later tonight - "Gardener starts massive wildfire"
LMAO! Nah, it's fresh and the fuel load is too low
This is the content we need more of

Those ashes are going to make that soil beautiful. No doubt.
Stop reading my mind. How did you know I was thinking. Miracle whip! Shocked and applauding.
Never a dull 😑 moment with David the good 👍. You are too funny 😆😄🤣
You know that scene from lotr where theoden rides by hitting his sword against the horseman's? I'm imagining all of David's kids with marshmallows on sticks and him running by torching the marshmallows. Cheers all!
I used one with a metal flame box, inside that box it reaches much higher temperature, also when its windy.
And you can work faster and more precise.
The most entertaining product demonstration evar!
I want one now!... But my lady would kill me (probably with the weed dragon).
Your brother's shirt was a nice touch tho! Lol
Of course my daughter’s dresser arrived during the premier. I miss the Good gardeners! Oh, yeah, and DTG playing with fire..
Have you tried a cut in half coffee can or very large soup can attached to a handle, a stick, for a flame shield. That’s how I flame weed my vineyard without torching the vines. It might work for your annuals.
Looks like David is gonna start a new channel. Torchn stuff the good way.

"I love the fire" couldn't of said it better 🙌. I to love the fire 🔥😍
RIP cabbage moth 😂
He had a good run
I purchased one to kill the knotweed growing on my property! I was using it at high power 315000 BTU’s
did it work well?
That's the ticket!
Did it work? We have a mess of it!
@@sandradelvecchio6894 I’m not sure yet! Still turning and burning 🥵! I will let you know if it’s permanent! Just started burning on Tuesday!

Crazy dangerous. I didn't know that you only had to heat the weeds. I burned them right down to the ground.
Also good for fire treating lumber.
Real southern cooking thanks you!
you can use it, especially the ones with a bigger diameter pipe at the end, to burn holes in landscape cloth as planting sites.
but only use it at lowest heat, enough to heat the pipe rim, no flame out the end, maybe just with pilot light, some dont have the trigger and pilot light system, just a tap to set the flow of gas
We just ordered ours, it will get here wednesday. so excited
I like greenbriers. They make a decent leaf vegetable, and the fruit is good for making into fruit syrup for soda and things (not particularly tasty fresh).
Hello David The Good I like your new toy and your excitements especially the lava miracle whip 🌡️🔥
Thanks David! Now I can finally say I've enjoyed Miracle Whip!
C'mon, a flame weeder to kill a cabbage moth??!? What's wrong with just chasing them around with a badminton racquet like a normal person?
Bahaha
My neighbor tried to mow like this, didn’t work out well, 😆 almost set the neighborhood on fire, there was even a drought and burn ban in place
Sounds like you have an under educated pyro for a neighbor.
Most pyros are great people. Best people you'll ever meet. Sorry he was a bad egg.
@@davidthegood Yes, that was what I meant.

Great to see you getting back to your old self David!
I absolutely love weed burners. They make no till very easy.
Yup, gonna need one of those.... /looks at husband shaking his head/ drat
That does look fun, and slightly dangerous. Are these qualities the same thing?
To ask is to know.
@@davidthegood Indeed.
Not in the northeast. The trees except for pine , and brush are mostly water. (5-10 gallons of water per inch of trunk diameter.)
I love that it's chemical free. What do you think about poison ivy at the tree line.
Consider that it will volatilize the oils that could be breathed in along with the smoke. Fell victim to that idea when I was a child.
Yeah, be careful burning poison ivy.
calmly and reasonably
Thats one mean lookin torch wagon! You should have clipped the young smilax tips first. They are delicious and taste like asparagus. I munch them when im hiking.
I hope with a name that ends in -lax it does not have a side effect you are not telling DTG and us about😆.
I usually eat them but this species is nasty bitter.
@@SouthFloridaSunshine Yeah I thought DTG needed to fertilize his fields more! Nah, more smile than lax thankfully!
@@harmonic3350 lolol I just thought of Ex-lax immediately seeing the name, but good info to know. TY
David you find all the good toys
That was to cool David. Burn it burn it. That’s something every man would Love. Can picture my husband with it. Lol
I finally got one, the backpack version!
That looks awesome. Fire!! 🔥🔥🧯
Greenbriar tips are tasty. You can get a regulator for that set up and it works better. Johnny Seed carries it.
Love the thumbnail! Videos' pretty good, too.
YES! The cogon must burn! Also, that's the best use of Miracle Whip I've ever seen. I mean, who eats that stuff anyway?
I've been looking for a reasonably priced weed burner since I moved to the UK, and didn't know that amazon shipped this one (and only this specific brand) overseas.
I had one shipped to the Caribbean for a client. Good to hear you could get one too.
@@davidthegood I bought one from China and it straight up did not work. Thanks for letting me know about this one and I hope Jeff Bezos' pennies reach you swiftly.
You burn Florida down I'm gonna be mad.
Ha! Fire department shirt.
I’m poor at humor, sorry. But I would like your feelings on using eucalyptus for mulch or in compost?
Me,too. My son will say to me “Laugh, Mom. It was a joke”, usually after he says something like a DTG comment.
Hahaha that janky little plastic wagon ad hoc propane tank transporter is killing me 😆
Will this work for invasive Blackberry bush where shoots are popping up everywhere??? I need help! It's taking over, LOL
Lol I can imagine you're brother is extremely jealous right now!
You turned it in to a Weed Wagon Dragon.
FIRE!!!!!!!
My son has one of those I think. He used it to melt tar paper to a roof?
Can I use this close to Maple tree roots without killing the tree?
Yes.

It's so wet here the fires just creep along.
Absolutely love slug!
So how much other food did you burn but not include in the video?
Note that I didn't actually burn any real food in this video...
@@davidthegood hahaha touché
love the whyp, i have similar touch
I think I saw one those tools on the history channel. That tool looks good for weeding the garden and clearing out machine gun nest or melting snowflakes?
Awesome!
: )
great , now the machete guy has a flamethrower..nothing to worry about

Yes, the shoot are edible. Some are bitter, though, like the ones in this up-and-coming food forest.
@@davidthegood I heard the tubers are edible too, but I always heard they were toxic.
You made a miracle whip phallic symbol!
i love my red dragon.
Looking CUT
Would have liked to see you have a safety net - as in a water hose ready to use if necessary.
Maybe a helmet, too, like they used to make me wear in chess club.
Could you try it on some pool noodles, please? Oh, and potatoes, see if you can make fries. That would be awesome!
I roasted corn with one - it was delicious.
Would this work for keeping down the Brazilian peppers seedlings?
Yes, but anything sizable will grow right back from the roots. And be careful burning B pepper - it's toxic stuff. The smoke is poisonous.
To quote Beavis and Butthead .... “FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIIIIRRRREEEE
Also I lent mine to a friend, scared them too much they didn’t use it.
I dub thee, Permaculture Fire Scythe.
That’s exactly what should be done to miracle whip lol 😂
8:25 when sinners in the hands of an angry God comes up on shuffle
I read that Sunflower roots act like a herbicide.
When you light them on fire?
@@davidthegood hahah. The root structure, it reads, chokes out and kills other plants in its massive radius. I have not tried it myself as of yet. Going to try and clear a park pad with the method and see if it holds merit.
No brothers were harmed in the making of this video
You taught me to eat smilax and now you show me your family doesn't love them for breakfast! I am disappointed! But good use of Miracle Whip! I want a flame weeder! but I will eat all the smilax that haven't been sprayed by the neighbor!
Most smilax taste good. This type is horrible. Very bitter.
When did you leave unauthorized?
Two months ago.
@@davidthegood hope it was on good terms. I usually just watch here anyways but was looking for one of the longer videos you had up on unauthorized. Should probably stop being a cheap skate and buy your book already. I appreciate your content!
Your killing me xDDDDDDD
Really though, the true test would be on Jiffy Pop popcorn.
Damn, I wanted to see a Twinkie flame broiled.
Should have worn safety goggles for that one!
Does this work on dandelions?
Yes
thumbs up for the Cabbage Moth murder!!!
It was more of a species cleansing.
Perfect amount of doneness on the marshmallows! Miracle whip.....what a waste.hahahahahaha
That's exactly what should happen to the mayonnaise impostor 😆
7 cabbage moths disliked this video
LOL you had too much fun.
I hope the next video is the wide open unreasonable review.
Your own little war on junk food 😂
Now , marshmallows are my favorites what no chocolate! No ghram crackers. Ok.
so you're a burnt marshmallow kinda guy, eh?
I can't believe you burnt that jar of miracle whip. Don't you know that every time you burn plastic a hippie loses their drugs?
''FIRE FIRE FIRE''
There is nothing more satisfying than using God's wisdom for weeds: burn em!
You forgot one application setting the woods on fire ahh.... oops I mean a....controlled burn
This is Miracle Whip on drugs.
Men with tools that include fire...my gosh.
