They can shoot a stream of flame 25 to 50 feet. Their proposed uses include controlling weeds and insect hives, clearing snow and ice, facilitating a controlled burn to clear brush, starting a bonfire — or just for having fun.

Two Midwest companies — one in metro Detroit, the other in Cleveland — are selling personal flamethrowers on the Internet, with prices ranging from $900 to $1,600.

But at least one Michigan official — Warren Mayor Jim Fouts — is trying to extinguish the use of the devices in his city, the state’s third largest.
