Ordinary OA torch works but it is hard to light and very unstable

Hate propane. Unless you’re cutting thick thick plate or heating it doesn’t save you any money.

It is cheaper unless your a mega sized user and pay a pittance on bottle rent. 19kg lasts most small shops ages and zero rent £40 exchange and local all over the uk in every townNowt wrong with Acetylene as long as you follow best practice.
