Most here think it's madness or a joke.Hugs, Cap. Sounds like you and he were buddies...
Shad, you mentioned cleaning coops and running out of blow torch gas.... I think that is an interesting way to clean the coops!
Forty and flaking here. DH and I split some firewood and watered the beasties. DS$ has a dual meet this evening so that will be the entertainment. Hasta!
If they looked at the coops on my coop page it would make a lot more sense.
400 degrees centigrade (blue tip of flame) kills everything it touches, mites eggs bacteria.
It does take a bit of practice and I do char the wood from time to time.
Bee keepers have been cleaning hives and racks with a blow torch for years.
Of course, it means no chemicals which is good.
