Gas burners have long been widely used not only in industry, but also in everyday life. A powerful and compact source of high-temperature flame will help in various seemingly hopeless situations.

1. Help with stuck bolts and nuts

Old and attached bolts or nuts are very difficult to unscrew. This process is often accompanied by mucous edges or slots, which further complicates further work.

Before unscrewing the nut, it is enough to warm it with the end of the flame, since heating causes the metal to expand. The main thing is to catch the moment when only the nut warms up, but the bolt remains cold. Even if you do not guess, it will still be easier to work, since heated rust or thread lock from heating softens.

2. Wood or metal decoration

When a tree is heated, its external structure changes, a pattern appears. It is necessary to observe a measure so that the surface does not char.

On the surface of a smooth polished metal, when exposed to high temperature, beautiful tint colors of various shades appear.

3. Processing the ends of the nylon rope

Synthetic fiber has a low coefficient of friction, therefore, if you leave the end of the cut rope unprocessed, then its surface in the shortest possible time will “become wet”. Tying a knot helps to fix the end, but the rope will have a significant thickening.

In the flame of the burner, the ends of the strands are fused together and in the future they will never be scattered.

4. Weed control

High temperature is detrimental to plants, therefore, by heating the stem of weeds near the rhizome, you can save yourself from the tedious work of weeding. After heating, the movement of juices in the plant stops and it quickly dies.

It is important to remember that the burner can only be used on wet grass so as not to cause a fire.

5. Removing old paint

Heated paint, even the oldest, softens at temperature and is easily removed from the surface. Usually, a blowtorch or a building hair dryer is used for this. The narrow flame of a gas burner allows you to remove paint in the most inaccessible places.

6. Warming up frozen plumbing or locks

A plumbing pipe caught by frost can also be heated with a burner flame. But this is only valid for metal pipes.

Often a situation arises when water enters the castle and freezes. It is enough to direct the burner flame towards the key slot for a few seconds so that the lock can be easily opened.

7. Work with jewelry

For simple jewelry repairs, instead of taking them to the workshop, you can also use a compact gas burner. Using special solders, you can solder silver and gold products.

8. The creation of structures for the house and cottages from copper tubes

Thin-walled copper tubes are well suited for the manufacture of decorative lattices for curly flowers. The copper grate is not subject to corrosion and will last a long time. Copper is soldered using inexpensive tin-lead solders.

9. Fix a track

A path made of wild stone or concrete tiles often overgrows with grass at the joints. Using the burner, you can burn the grass at the joints, and then dried up the soil to choose a suitable object.

In the future, you can fill the gaps with melting material and melt it with a burner flame. Now the joints will look neat for a long time.

10. Roasting meat

And finally, the most exotic use is for frying meat. A gas burner is often used by cooks to decorate ready-made meals.

In extreme cases, you can fry a piece of meat with it. The main thing is that the flame is as wide as possible. Otherwise, you can just burn a kind of barbecue.

Some people like this cooking method because there is no smell of smoke.

In conclusion, it must be recalled that working with a gas burner requires special care and accuracy, since the gas in the cylinder is under pressure.

In addition, an open, high-temperature flame can cause severe injury or fire.
