Bobbie Bennett says he used the torch to melt away the snow and ice to create a path for his dogs.
He said a 30 minute shoveling job takes only five minutes with the blowtorch.

Until now, Bennett had never used this particular method to remove snow. But, he has used a torch to thaw frozen pipes outside before.
