sorry mate I missed this question...propane torches do the job nicely...I use the looftlighter as it is a bit safer for our employees and a bit more forgiving...that is all charring can be done with any flame. Hope that is cleared up.

made an alright drink. not my fav but it was alright at the time on essence.
if you want a smokey flavour try lighting them on fire with your torch as you toast them, they will catch on fire anyway toasting 8-} and when they are nicelty alight drop them in an empty milo tin or paint tin and put the lid on. it will smuther the flames out and retain the smoke flavour a fair bit

when i char mine i just hit them with the hose to put the flames out :))

Thanks again for this tip I put 6gen mcrum on 15gl Ao medium toast +7G heavy heavy char american oak, A month in and this stuff tastes like honey comb with a slightly smoky taste awesome stuff!! :D
