I recently bought this cheap china made small leaf blower.

I think this could be useful when experimenting with gasifiers, lighting barbecues, and getting my charcoal retort up to temperature, with my wet wood.
Pretty powerful for the price, and it really scares the dog and cat away…

I have the Makita version of that blower it has 3 speeds and as you mentioned it really is fantastic at low speed to light the BBQ without blowing embers and ash everywhere and getting gasifiers up to temp .

No without incident but I had this backhoe follow me home from south Carolina.

I made into the middle of Atlanta with it and the aluminum rim on the back of the truck couldn’t hold the weight best I can figure and the lug studs broke. I jacked it up go a ride to the parts store by a kind man. Put a set of studs in it and made it 40 miles before they broke again. Dad and my uncle came with 2 trucks and a trailer and pulled me home.
