Hello Tracy,

    FWIW there are some hand-held propane plumber torches that have a
    pistol grip with a self-ignition trigger to fire up the torch and a
    thumb wheel to adjust the flame. Of course most "torch with hose"
    rigs are infinitely superior to these but they are an option and an
    inexpensive one. For US$20 you can be up and running (however, all the
    aforementioned limitations still apply). 

Cheers, 
Trevor F.
