Can anyone give me some advice on flame treating bamboo?

I have some green bamboo and tried both paropane and map gas. I can kind of get it to work but takes about 30 minutes to get a 12” section to turn tan and even with that sometimes I can’t can’t it to turn with out burning it.

The videos I watched it just seems to go pretty quick and easy
