Shame! They're really useful shops - I'm lucky to have one locally. I bought my weedwand from Lidl's and they sometimes have the gas refills.

I bought one but I have problems in getting the gas canisters. Wilkies around here do not stock them neither B&Q nor all the hardware stores and building merchants, Argos sell the weed wands but do not sell the gas when I made enquiries I was told that argos have`nt stocked the gas for over 3 years they told me to go to Wilkies and they told me that they have stopped stocking the gas

I generally get mine from B&Q, butane/propane mix as it burns hotter than butane. Still crap mind and only any use for lighting fires etc.

OH got one last year and we got the refils from Wilkinsons... hope they haven't stopped stocking them. One advantage was a good germination of Doronicum in the path below them, never had any self sets before... reckon they liked a good cooking... like many "veldt" and semi-desert plants which spring up after a bush fire...  :)
