I like the heating idea. This thing has been standing for a decade & prob has a lot of "fur" on the inside of the drums.
Mother hasn't noticed that the kitchen blow torch is missing yet! I will have to steal the oven mitts too.
It may be time to re-comission my trusty Comet3 oxy acetylene set if I can only stomach dealing with BOC again!
When will someone invent some throw-away welding gas containers for part-timers like me?

They are called a turbo torch, I sell em for about $98.00 and and cylinder for $20 all +gst. best thing since the battery drill IMHO!

So the oxy set is $98 & the disposable tank is $20? Don't I need 2: 1 acetylene & 1 oxygen?

Seeing the vampires @ BOC want about $100pa to hire their tanks PLUS I have to buy the gas, I'm interested.

Do you have disposable MIG gas as well?

They look promising but they don't exactly say "welding" of steel only bronze-brazing.

They do alot tho & they run off the BBQ bottle!
