Yeach... this is good one - it melts all the snow into water, which in turn will freeze and make a nice ice pool - great for skating ;-). Good luck, nonetheless...

I saw the part where it said "even your wife can use it," so I asked my wife if she wanted a flamethrower, but when she asked "what for," all I could say is that there were 1001 uses, none of which I could enumerate...

I got one and burned the house down. Plus, when the fire fighters arrived they slipped on the glaze ice covering the front walk. BRILLIANT!

I have something similar. A $20 propane torch from Harbor Freight that connects to an LP tank for a BBQ grill.
Very handy, not much use for clearing snow, but it is good for burning down weeds and other add tasks that freak my neighbors out.

You could just buy a Tiger Torch. (For $20 at harbor freight as a poster above mentioned)

Seems like a great way to shock stone, brick, and concrete into cracking.
