Killing Weeds with Steam

I understand that steam can kill weeds in a fence row or on gravel driveways. What temperature of steam could you use on a lawn to kill weeds but not the grass (Bermuda and St. Augustine)?

Hardiness Zone: 8a

Boiling water works GREAT for this!

If using plain water, you don't get the choose the tep of the steam. Water boils at 212 degees F and won't get any hotter than that!

I've used boiling water on poison oak and it killed it.

Mix some salt water up and spray weeds, they won't grow back so only spray what you don't want!
