Brazing - Torch suggestions
 

I am wondering what torches folks use to braze their tubers. My main question is if a propane torch is hot enough to braze solid steel rod. The reason I ask about steel rod is that I think that would need the most heat. I have a lot of propane sitting around from a camping trip where we ended up not using a tenth of what we took. If these will work, I can pick up a torch attacment and have at it. If this won't work, I don't want to needlessly spend cash.

Thanks in advance!

Search. This topic has been covered litterally a countless number of times.

Although I think I worded my thread badly, I was hoping to do a guide of some sort with brazing tools that people have used sucessfully. Not simply a Mapp torch, but a where did you get what ya got kind of deal. Although I did ask about Propane, I was lazy to look. Went ahead and did that...

Any torch that gets hot enough to melt the braize is good. Bernz-o-matic is about the cheapest and simplest I have found.

The threads on the coleman-type prop. tanks are very similar to (if not the same as) the bernz-o-matic-type tanks. I have used the Bernz-o tanks on my mini-gas grill several x's with no problems. Maybe you could buy one of the torch-sets that they sell at sears for $50. They use a Mapp-gas tank, and an O2 tank. The Mapp-gas tank has the same outer dimensions and looks as the propane tank. I believe prop. is cheaper than MAPP gas. I think you could use 1 of those prop. tanks on it, and have an O2 tank on 'standby' and open its valve, if the prop. doesnt get it hot enough by itself. Those O2 tanks can get pretty pricey, if you're heavy on the hotwrench.
