Blow torch, real or chiefs?

[Dupont666]

Got giddy and bought a blow torch like this:



and got thinking would a real one be better than a chiefs one?

Thoughts?

Sitting Bull says

'Must buy proper torch Kemosabe'

I've got a foody one - no idea whether a 'proper' one is any different. Good for lighting your smokes outside if the weather is inclement.

got mine to do toast.... and of course creme brullie.....

And maybe to burn stuff too

I've got a normal one, none of this Red Indian stuff for me
I'm sure Paul Hogan did a sketch where he used a blow torch to make toast

I have a chef's one and it has the pyrotechnic prowess of a gas lighter. Get yourself to a DIY store and buy the biggest butane-powered burner you can get hold of.

I got given one of these with a set of ramekins to make creme brulee, which admittedly were nice, but but now it has been demoted to lighting the fire and BBQs, which it is surprisingly effective.
