    Safe, Yes, this is the way we torch annealed at Jewelry Boot Camp .
    It makes a large, soft, bushy flame with Oxygen and Natural gas. The
    Meco Midget is perhaps the most flexible, and most durable of all
    the torches available. 

    Everyone started with the Meco, then moved to the Little Torch I
    still prefer my Little Torch for ring sized work, in metals, other
    than silver.
