    I've used a butane torch for some time with good success on small
    stuff. I've soldered earings, rings pendants, you name it. Even for
    making granules in silver and in gold. I don't have a 'real' studio
    or shop, most of my work is done right in my kitchen (firebrick
    right on stovetop) or workbench in the den (right next to kitchen).
    I do have a bigger propane torch, but I use it outside or in the
    garage. Butane torch on larger pieces doens't work as well, like a
    cuff bracelet, just too much metal for the butane to heat up. But I
    love the small portable size of the butane types. Besides which,
    butane is safer inside because it disipates rather than settling on
    the floor like other gases.
