Something else that works really well is a propane weed burner. It requires close attention.

It is for outdoors only. It works well if the meat is on a barbecue rack in a barbecue.

> Searing sous vide pork ribs on a propane barbecue usually results in too much inedible charred meat because the fat dripping catch on fire and the fire burns the meat. So I thought to try a propane weed burner ($20 at Harbor Freight, $15 with 25% off coupon). The weed burner worked great! It created a good sear with almost no inedible char. I posted the video on Youtube: [Video](https://youtu.be/eURg52s65xc)
