So, I just got a smoke tube to do some cheese and fish. I was going to buy a torch from Amazon to light said smoke tube... Then I remembered we have (for some unknown reason) three Creme Brule torches in the kitchen. Worked perfect to light the smoke tube! Cheers!

Funny...my wife was making creme brule and needed a torch. I brought in my plumbing soldering torch.

So, what you're saying is; we shouldn't be using my Oxy-Acetylene Torch to Caramelize the Creme Brule ?

Hair spray and a match also works pretty well

Oooops, thanks for the tip. I've been using WD40 instead of hair spray.

I've tried all the handheld torches, but am growing bored with them. So..., I cobbled this to together last weekend with some spare parts I had laying around - works great for starting the coals, and also for searing! But once you fire it up, you just need to stay back a bit...
