Burning Ragwort with a "weed burner"

[trottingon]

As the title really. Aldi have an offer on weed burners this week and it made me wonder if it is so useful for killing other weeds, so would it kill ragwort? - certainly esier than using Barrier Thingy and having to keep horses off the area for x number of weeks. What do people think?

It'll burn off the foliage but leave the extensive root system - not a permanent solution I'm afraid.
