T O R C H E S A N D T A N K S
Before using your Searzall, make sure all parts are accounted for.
We require the use one of the following torches when using your
Searzall:
Bernzomatic TS8000
(14282 Btu/hour, ~1.5 hours of searing per tank)
Bernzomatic TS4000
(6732 Btu/hour, ~3.25 hours of searing per tank)
We do not recommend using an Iwatani or other model of torch.
Non-recommended torches may present safety hazards and work
poorly.
See “Tanks” photo.
The Searzall requires a 16.4 oz “camping” propane gas cylinder tank
(fat squat tanks, typically green). These tanks are easily found at
hardware and camping supply stores.
DO NOT USE 14.1 ounce
propane tanks (the tall skinny ones, typically blue)
, They may tip
over and start a fire. Do not use MAPP tanks.

Always make sure gas is turned to the off position on your torch when
assembling the Searzall. After reading these instructions you can go to
www.searzall.com
for an assembly demonstration video if you like.
Step 1:
Make sure the Searzall is firmly attached to the sleeve adapter
(b). To place the Searzall on the adapter, loosen the thumbscrew (f),
align the screw with the slot in the adapter (see picture) and slide the
Searzall all the way on to the adapter. Tighten thumbscrew. The slot in
the adapter keeps the Searzall aligned and prevents the Searzall from
falling off of the torch during use even if the thumbscrew loosens
slightly.
Step 2: IMPORTANT ADJUSTMENT STEP !
Loosen the allen screw in
the adapter with the allen key (e). Slip the Searzall and sleeve adaptor
onto the torch head. Use the Searzall spacing adjustment tool
(matchstick) to set the spacing between the tip of the torch and the
opening in the back of the Searzall (see picture). The tip of the torch
should be
1/8 inch (3.25)
from the hole in the back of the Searzall.
THIS SPACING IS CRUCIAL TO THE OPERATION OF THE SEARZALL
. If
the spacing is larger than 1/8 inch, the inner screen could become
compromised -- you will experience rapid metal wasting. This
relationship is counter intuitive. If you lose the matchstick you may use
one US dime and nickel stacked together, or two 5 euro cent coins.
Make sure the Searzall is properly oriented on the torch with the
thumbscrew pointed down (see the picture labeled “Tanks”) and
tighten the sleeve adaptor into place with the 2-mm allen key (e). Do
not over-tighten. Remove matchstick.

PROPER AIR-GAP
SPACING IS VITAL!
Use included matchstick.
Note thumbscrew is
pointed down
Incorrect spacing can damage
the inner Searzall screen! Once
the adapter is properly
adjusted, you may remove the
Searzall without worry if you
leave the adapter on the torch.
