The Flame King Pro Searer Torch (model YSN91061PRO) is a handheld propane torch designed for high-heat cooking tasks — such as searing steaks, caramelizing desserts, melting cheese, or roasting vegetables. It can also be used for lighting grills, fire pits, or campfires.
What are its key features and specifications?
• **Ignition**: Push-button PIEZO ignitor for convenient lighting.
• **Flame control**: Adjustable knob to fine-tune flame intensity.
• **Fuel**: Compatible with standard **1 lb propane cylinders** (sold separately).
• **Dimensions & weight**: Approximately 1.5 × 5.5 × 2.3 in; weight ~1.07 lb.
• **Clean flame output**: Designed to use fully consumed propane (“pure fire, pure heat”) to avoid hydrocarbon residues.
• **Color & construction**: Black body with ergonomic design.
How do I use and maintain the Pro Searer Torch?
1. Securely attach a compatible 1 lb propane cylinder.
2. Turn on a slight gas flow, then press the PIEZO button to ignite.
3. Adjust the flame control knob to get the desired intensity.
4. Point the flame at your food or work surface, keeping a safe distance and moving steadily.
5. After use, fully shut off the gas, detach or store the torch properly.
6. Periodically inspect the burner tip and fuel path for soot or blockages and clean gently as needed.
7. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat.
What are the advantages and what should I watch out for?
Advantages:
• Achieves professional-style, high-heat searing in a portable format.
• Simple push-button ignition is safer and faster than match or lighter methods.
• Adjustable flame gives control for delicate tasks and high heat tasks alike.
• Clean-burning propane design reduces unwanted residues.
Considerations / cautions:
• You must supply a compatible 1 lb propane cylinder (not included).
• Because it's handheld, stability and reach matter — hold steadily and keep distance.
• Wind or drafts may destabilize the flame; shield it when possible.
• The torch and parts may degrade over time — inspect for wear, cracks, or sealing issues.
• Always follow safety protocols (don’t point at flammable surfaces, allow proper ventilation, etc.).
