    Just for balance, let me say that I have two torches, an acet/air
    Smith and an acet/oxy Meco. I use mostly silver. I much prefer the
    hotter, more concentrated Meco flame, and see no reason that it is
    not so good for silver. I used the Smith for years, and it is a
    perfectly good set-up, I just find the Meco more versatile. To me,
    the hotter flame seems all the more helpful with silver, which
    quickly conducts heat away, than with gold, which allows the heat to
    build up where you aim the torch. 

    FWIW...
