answer 2
Yes, but it does not use the outside thread like your grill, instead it screws into the reverse threaded inside threads so you do need a wrench. It also connects to a 100lb tank.

answer 7
I use the 20# tanks. They are easy to move. In my application (clearing wire fencing) the tank will last several hours, because all you need is short bursts of flame to get the vegetation burning. I keep a spare full cylinder on hand, but I usualy don't need it for a full day of work.

answer 3
Turn on gas at tank. Turn open gas at handle a tiny bit and push pizo button to light. Not a small pilot,rather the pilot is the flame from the bell itself which you can turn down to about 6 inches of flame or turn it up full blast. The trigger lever delivers full blast but you first have to light the bell as above or it won't ignite.

It has a adlustable valve for the pilot flame with a push button igniter (you don't need a match to light it). There is a seperate lever type valve (spring loaded) for the main burner.Squeeze it for main flame and release it to return to pilot flame.

answer 4
Yes, 32 feet is correct. This is just the right length. You don't have to lug the gas cylinder every time you take a step, and if it was any longer, it would get tangled and hung up on everything.

When you bolt the brackets together around the metal pipe right behind the torch tip
they make a stand to hold the tip up off of the ground when you set it down.

answer 4
Yes, I attached it to the tube close to the burner end so I can set it on the ground with the burner pointing up. The burner takes awhile to cool off, and this way, you don't have to hold onto it while it cools.
