How to light a AMNPS - the manly way!

[cmayna]

Bernz0matic TS4000 Map gas

No need for a heat gun. This puppy puts out that infamous jet sound too.

Been doing it that way since the first day mine arrived.  Only difference is I've got a "fat boy" mapp gas tank on mine still. 

PS - you forgot to post the glowing yellow hot stainless steel around the ignition hole photo.....

Huh. I didnt know there was any other way.

I use a similar torch but it is propane instead of MAP, I know, not as hot, but it works good and it also makes the jet sound! :yahoo:

Thought that's why it came with the torch tip.

Been using regular propane, may take a little longer and have to light it with a lighter, but works fine.

Flame on!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I wonder how long the stainless will hold up to the yellow (almost white) hot treatment.  Does a wonderful job of starting even pellets often said to hard to start (whiskey barrel comes to mind).

ok. don't make me pull out the big gun. we use these torches frequently i my profession. Give it up for the Fat Boy map

Oh gosh...the proverbial "boys and their toys"....LOL

Craig if that's all your using that torch for you're missing out. Talk about carmelized salmon nuggets! Or how about smoked salmon blow torch nachos??

TS-4000 and Propane, been using it 2 years now. My Jerk upstairs neighbor who HATES that I smoke meat used to run out every time he heard the torch fire up on the balcony. Then I let all the Cigarette smokers in the apartment start using it to light cigarettes...Fun Stuff!

Not just for the MEN...this WOMAN uses it to light my pellets/wood chips and charcoal as well as lighting the propane smoker burner. Also use it to start campfires. Does a great job at caramelizing creme brulee, etc.
