About TorchBench
Welcome to TorchBench. We write practical guides to propane torches and the jobs they do around a yard, a workshop and a campsite.
Most torch advice online is thin: a list of products with no explanation of what actually matters. We try to do the opposite. Each guide explains the specs that change how a torch performs, the safety rules that apply to the job, and which kind of buyer a given model suits.
What We Cover
Weed and brush burning, soldering and plumbing, torch heads, kits and tanks, lighting charcoal, searing food, and the safety basics behind all of it. Every guide is written to answer a specific question a buyer or a first-time user has.
Meet the Team
Every article is written by a named editor — not an anonymous byline. Here's who's behind TorchBench:
- TorchBench Editors — Editorial Team
The TorchBench editorial team researches propane torches and writes our product pages and guides from manufacturer specifications, published safety guidance and the product listings. We do not test products ourselves.
Our Research & Recommendation Approach
We do not run a test workshop and we do not claim hands-on testing. We work from manufacturer specifications, product documentation and the product listings, and we say so. Where a figure comes from a manufacturer, we attribute it to the manufacturer. You can read more on our Editorial Process page.
Every TorchBench article is written by the TorchBench editorial team using AI-assisted drafting, then checked by a person for accuracy and for our safety and disclosure rules before it is published. We work from manufacturer statements, product listings and published safety guidance. We do not test products ourselves, we do not publish customer reviews, and we attribute performance and certification claims to the manufacturer. Our recommendations are not influenced by commission rates, although we do earn commissions on some products. If you find an error, tell us through the contact page and we will correct it.
Safety First
A propane torch is a tool that produces an open flame. Our guides describe safe use as a baseline: outdoors or with good ventilation, away from people, pets and anything flammable, and in line with local fire rules and burn bans. Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
