    This is a torch. Sheesh… Get a dictionary.

    If they had meant blowtorch, they would’ve said “blowtorch”. Why does everyone here have a pathological obsession with arguing meaningless bullshit?

      Fun fact, that torch wouldn’t smell like fuel. Reason being is fuel is an accelerant, traditionally those torches have pitch, fat or some other long burning substance. Those don’t smell like fuel other than the VERY small amount of accelerant to get them initially lit.

        Pitch and fat are both fuel. Nobody in the article specified what sort of fuel that was.

          Anything is fuel if you try hard enough. I melted down an aluminum boat in a bonfire last fall. But pitch, fat and aluminum while burnable/melt able do not smell like “fuel” as the average person would associate them.

          Fun fact fat was used in early soaps made to smell “good”.

          Ps. This isn’t arguing with you, it’s having a conversation.

      Yeah, that’s not what a torch is in modern day unless you’re in a video game or fantasy novel.

        So you’re one of the people with a pathological need to argue because you just can’t admit that you’re wrong.

        People who know you must think you are exhausting.
