    Well, because it's the same kind of tank that's used for a camping
    stove and it puts out flames, big, open flames. We're not talking
    about a little torch flame here. And you might run it as hot as 1650
    for two hours. Not in my house. 

    It was developed and is sold by www.PMC123.com. Has a pyrometer. It's
    a great concept. I've talked to one teacher who's seen it work and
    she was favorably impressed. 

    One of many examples of the creativity and inventiveness going on in
    the metal clay field -- in terms of tools I mean.
