    Kevin, Janet, and interested parties, 

    I use a Hoke-type torch attached to our household gas supply and a
    tank of compressed oxygen. It works perfectly well for soldering
    most moderately sized pieces of jewelry. Just be sure to get the
    natural gas tips. 

    You will not be able to get a tiny, pinpoint flame with natural gas,
    but for most things it is more than adequate. One less tank to worry
    about, and unlike acetylene, the fuel burns clean.
