Using a Drip Torch With Confidence

Learn to assemble (and disassemble) a drip torch and keep the flammable fuel off you and out of your lunch. The forestry-style drip torch is a common ignition tool for prescribed fires. These torches must be assembled in a specific way to prevent the flammable diesel-gas fuel mix from leaking. Pheasants Forever prescribed burn trailers include drip torches to help Minnesota private landowners conduct burns on their lands. 00:00 What to wear 00:36 How to assemble 03:34 Tips for disassembly Other Drip Torch Videos: Assemble a Drip Torch the Safe Way:    • Assemble a Drip Torch the Safe Way   Fuel Cans and Drip Torch Mixes:    • Fuel Cans and Drip Torch Mixes   Equipment Availability: These burn trailers and equipment are deployed in areas of Minnesota where landowners are cooperatively burning as part of a new or existing Prescribed Burn Associations and can only be loaned to individuals as availability allows.
