Kitchen blow torches: uses and refilling them

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

I live at sea level both here in Spain and in the UK.
I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to start praying to any god that will listen that global warming isn’t true!

We're at 5500 feet - that's a thought!

Never thought about using torches, grills, gas burning appliances at altitude. I found this article that helps.

I'm just thinking....
One of the things I like scarring is aubergine/egg plant.
I suppose it won't work just scarring the outside?..
As you want the inside soft , cooked and smoky?

I char (on the gas stove top) for flavour and then throw in the oven whole to finish, cook and soften if needed. Eg baba ganoush.
A bbq grill is probably best for the whole process but unless it's set up and ready to go, is a faff. Which is why I never use it
