I have used an industrial heat gun to toast a baked alaska and finish the creme brulee. The gun I have is for removing paint, etc. I gets amazingly hot when on the hottest setting. It takes a tiny bit longer than a blow torch, but there is no open flame. I have also used it to make s'mores when no one was looking, (don't tell on me) Way to think outside of the box, Ed.
