Janet,

    Why are you even futzing with butane? Some special purpose? I have
    experience with acetylene, natural gas, propane and aqua torch. The
    only things I would consider when choosing fuel are : If I'm working
    with silver I'd stick with acetylene (it is dirty though) If I had a
    source in the house, I'd use natural gas for safety and cleanliness.
     For multi metals, low price and relative cleanliness propane is the
    way to go. The aqua torch in my opinion is noisy, expensive and the
    methyl-ethyl-keytone (helicopter fuel) is both highly noxious and
    flammable. 

Jay
