MAKE TAILGATING PARTIES SPECIAL

A fun way to get creative at tailgate parties this season is by branding team logos onto burger buns. The best way to do this is with a metal brand and the Bernzomatic TS4000 High Heat Torch, a must-have tool to win tailgating season. It is great for a variety of practical uses like quickly lighting up the grill and adding the perfect sear to food, but also for many creative hacks, such as adding a patina finish to a custom set of cornhole game boards. The Bernzomatic TS4000 is easy to use with a trigger start ignition. For those who really want to go all out, solder together copper pipe to make goals posts for beer pong or create an epic grill top organizer. The options are endless with the power of a torch.
