I think that burning is really used Mostly for smoothing chainsaw cuts. You then use a stiff wire brush to brush away the black and it leaves a very smoothe finish. I used to use the torch to remove the palm splinters, it works very well.
Try the torch on a hardwood carving one time and you may use the grinder less.
