<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">I have had a lot of luck with MAPP torches. Much hotter than propane, and much safer and easier to use than oxy acetylene sets. If I remember correctly it’s heat content is similar to acetylene tho flame temperature is lower. Or maybe that’s vice-versa. I’m sure there are several folks on this list who know this type of information off the top of their heads and can chime in.<br><br>If the metal is really huge then the MAPP torch might not be enough. But I can get some pretty big chunks of steel cherry red with MAPP. My haywagon slip tube was the only project in recent memory that made me wish I had an oxy-acetylene outfit.<div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.truevalue.com/professional-on-demand-map-pro-torch">https://www.truevalue.com/professional-on-demand-map-pro-torch</a><br><div><div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div dir="ltr" id="AppleMailSignature">Spencer Yost</div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Jul 2, 2019, at 3:43 PM, <<a href="mailto:deanvp@att.net">deanvp@att.net</a>> <<a href="mailto:deanvp@att.net">deanvp@att.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span>What torch tips do you have available to you?
