An improved torch assembly (10) especially designed for use in the formation of roof lap joints is provided which includes an elongated handle (12) having a shoe element (14) coupled to the lower end thereof and equipped with a rearwardly extending, marginal barrier wall (18). A torch (16) is secured within the shoe element (14) and is oriented for delivery of flame downwardly through the open end of the shoe element (14) and at an oblique angle relative to the barrier wall (18). Preferably, the handle (12) is in the form of an elongated tubular body (20) which is coupled to a cup-like torch head (52) secured within the confines of shoe element (14). In another embodiment, torch (10b) is provided having shoe (14b) and an adjustably positioned diverter (80) carried by the shoe (14b) for directing flame downwardly beyond the trailing edge of bottom wall (36b) of shoe element (14b). Another torch (10d) includes a diverter (94) carried by shoe (14d) which directs flame upwardly in order to preheat a material (108) prior to application thereof to an underlying deck (110).
