| I don't think you need a MAPP can. MAPP is only over 5,000 degrees F when it's combined with pure oxygen. In air, it's 3,650 degrees F, only 200 degrees higher than Propane.
So if you're going to use an oxygen tank, may as well just go Oxy Acetylene.

all i have for heat is a plumbers propane tank...i guess it is better than nothing, (then again if i had nothing i would probably get a torch :)
