The Burgess 1443 is a specialized outdoor tool designed to manage large yard perimeters without the limitations of electrical cords. It features a 40oz high-density polyethylene reservoir that offers high resistance to chemicals, though keeping it out of direct sunlight helps maintain the integrity of the plastic over time. The unit relies on a stainless steel heating coil for efficient heat transfer, which produces a fine fog capable of reaching deep into garden foliage.
Specifications indicate that maintaining a consistent 3-second pumping rhythm is important for the health of the internal components. Deviating from this timing can cause the heating coil to become blocked, which may result in the unit releasing liquid rather than the intended fine mist. For reliable ignition, the built-in trigger mechanism is designed for ease of use, though the plastic housing may become sensitive if left in high-temperature environments for extended periods.
Users should plan for a brief two-minute warm-up period to ensure the unit operates as intended. The connection for the standard 14.1 oz propane cylinder is made of brass; care should be taken to tighten it firmly but gently to prevent damage to the threads. After seasonal storage, inspecting the internal seals ensures the pump remains airtight and ready for use.
If you find that a cord-free propane model isn't the right fit for your property, you might consider the Createch Commander Tri-Jet which operates on standard household electricity for indoor or outdoor use.
Properly maintaining these tools is a key part of seasonal outdoor management, much like finding the right propane-powered thermal foggers for consistent yard maintenance.
