    Thanks for the enlightening info. I guess it's going to be propane.
    I  only hope that all those candles I didn't burn make up for this! 

    Peter, I am, however, surprised that there's no difference between
    grades of butane. When I took a class in stone-setting at the
    Richmond Art Center (actually, I started the class, but dropped out
    when I realized that channel-setting--when all I'd ever done was
    bezels--was a little over my head), the teacher, who had 30 years as
    a bench jeweler and stone dealer, made us buy "special" butane. He
    said it was superior to other "grades." He also had people using
    butane torches, because he said they were better for creating
    settings for 3mm stones. 

    And what I thought was cool about that torch was the design: I saw
    it  as a sexy Wolfgang Puck torch, and thought somebody might like
    to use  it for demos in a sleek, modernist booth.
