hose to enter the GrillGun. Doing so will ac vate the built-in
Check Valve to stop the fuel flow. (See Check Valve sec on above
for instruc ons on how to release the Check Valve.) If the Check
Valve were not in place, a emp ng to operate it either inverted
or pped over far enough on its side such that liquid propane
could enter the GrillGun, would allow fuel to exit through the
barrel as a burning liquid. The burning liquid would travel much
further than the burning propane gas (up to 4 or 5 feet) much like
a flame thrower would. This ac on not only carries the liquid
propane from the gun but also any small solids floa ng in the liq-
uid propane, which could clog the output orifice or foul the
valves, requiring you to have the GrillGun serviced to clean out
the lodged debris. While this ac on would cause no permanent
damage to the GrillGun itself, it is both a dangerous prac ce and
poten ally a source of frustra on for you to have your GrillGun
rendered inoperable.
The front end of the GrillGun is called the Fire Bell, and it will be
quite hot a er use. Allow it to cool down completely before
touching it or le ng it come into contact with a flammable sur-
face.
While GrillGuns clearly look really cool, they are very serious
tools. If you use a serious torch like this, you must be prepared
to assume all the responsibility for using it safely and responsi‐
bly, which includes keeping it out of the hands of small children
or other persons who might not understand its destruc ve po‐
ten al or may not have the self‐control to use it responsi‐
bly. You must be careful to fully understand how to operate it
correctly . The design features of the GrillGun are created to help
the user to operate it safely, but in the end, the safe opera on of
a GrillGun rests squarely on the user and not on the manufactur-
er.
The GrillGun is designed with a very lean gas-to-air mixture. The
only safe and reliable way to light it consistently when you pull
the Finger Trigger is to have the gas on at its lowest possible
se ng. This flow rate will almost always light the first me you
pull the Finger Trigger; conversely, it will be very difficult to light
when the fuel is turned up high or the Handle Trigger is pulled to
create a high velocity flow of gas. I am not saying it will NEVER
