The Backburner is an unlockable primary weapon for the Pyro. It is the default Flamethrower with a team colored metal addition to the nozzle shaped like a dragon's head.
The Backburner guarantees critical hits whenever it is used on an opponent from behind, and deals 10% more damage than the normal Flamethrower.
The area behind an enemy that will register critical hits for the weapon is approximately a 90 degree angle centered behind where the opponent is facing. This is significantly less than the Spy's backstab range, which appears to be any angle in the 180 degrees behind where a player is looking.
The Backburner is automatically given to any player who obtains 16 Pyro achievements.

Flame damage (close) | 100% | 7.13 / particle |

Attack interval | 0.04 s | |
Ammo consumption interval | 0.08 s | |
Afterburn duration | 10 s | |
Values are approximate and determined by community testing. |
Note: Flame damage is proportional to particle lifetime instead of distance from target. Unlike most weapons, critical hits are also affected by the scaling. Additionally, there is a very slight damage variance (±0.08 / particle) due to differences in particle angles.

Update history
June 19, 2008 Patch (The Pyro Update)
- The item was added to the game.
- Fixed Backburner's flame critical hits not being recalculated after collision. This meant that it would check if the target was looking away once and after that the flame could score a critical hit again even if the orientation changed.
- Removed health bonus from the Backburner (previously gave 50 extra max health).
August 19, 2008 Patch (A Heavy Update)
- Added new firing sounds to the Backburner
April 29, 2010 Patch (119th Update)
- Added a 20% damage bonus to the Backburner.
- Reduced Backburner damage bonus from 20% to 15%.
September 30, 2010 Patch (The Mann-Conomy Update)
- Backburner was assigned a unique kill icon.
- [Undocumented] Fixed players claiming health by switching to the Powerjack as the enemy dies from burn damage from the Flamethrower.
- Updated model (the dragon attachment) with optimizations and new LODs.
- [Undocumented] Several particle effects, including Flamethrower fire, were altered to appear brighter. These changes do not apply to ATi graphics card users and some others.
- Removed the restriction on airblast.
- Ammo cost increased 150%.
- Damage bonus reduced to 10%
Bugs
- In first-person view, the flame at the front of the Backburner clips through the metal cover.
- Due to being a near identical model of the Flamethrower, a similar bug persists; should the Pyro move his hand due to a voice command, the hose connected to the propane tank will appear attached to his wrist.
- Upon dying whilst using this weapon, the Pyro will drop the default Flamethrower.
