When my Searzall first showed up I already had the green propane canister, but only a standard torch head which I'd previously used to make crème brûlée, etc.
I tried using this head with the Searzall and it was pretty un-impressive. It took forever to sear a sous vide steak, and it would only work parallel to the ground, or higher. (imagine me holding the steak with tongs, for 5+ minutes per steak)
I then bought the recommended TS4000 (because it was the one available in my local hardware store) and it works *hugely* better. So much more heat, and the angle can go much steeper. (almost, but not quite straight down)
So, for those who've been avoiding the expensive torch heads: It makes a big difference.
