I used to have a gas torch which was designed for brazing, heating and cutting using Comp air and LPG/Propane gas.
I got it from an old boiler maker who showed me how it worked and a BBQ bottle lasted ages cutting unlike a bottle or Acetylene let alone the Oxy.
Only problem is, it burned out the tip due to me using it in correctly and not realising it and then I found out they no longer exist so I couldn't get parts.
I can't remember the brand other than they were an English company and during the 40's and 50's very popular in the states.
It looked like a BBQ regulator with a oxy reg on the outlet side with a gauge, only had the 1 hose going to the gas bottle and the airline just clipped onto the back of the hand piece.
The had piece had 3 knobs like a cutting torch and the lever like a normal cutting torch but the blower nozzle was a separate pipe which was in front of the heating nozzle.
The lower the pressure the less holes seemed to light up so you never changed tips for going between jobs just set the pressure correctly.
I wish I still had it and could get parts for it as it was so quick and simple to use, and that probably why they are not around now, not enough money in them for parts, testing and rent.
