Hello Marilyn,

    I know this has been discussed at length in the archives, but we
    need to remember that new folks are constantly joining the Orchid
    family. 

    That said, I'll repeat myself.  I very much like using natural gas
    (NG) and compressed oxygen.  Only one bottle (oxygen) and regulator
    to buy and refill.  There is the expense of having a plumber install
    a valve and nipple for the torch's hose, but the cost of NG is very
    low.  The flame burns cleanly and generates plenty of heat for
    soldering.  Best of all, the flame can be left burning between uses
    - when the oxygen is added.  That IS convenience! 

    Let us know what you decide upon, Marilyn, Judy in Kansas
