    I'd like to second that recommendation and add that you can get by
    fairly reasonably using just the little disposable propane canisters,
    often called "plumber's torch" and sold in hardware stores everywhere.
    While it's true that these are not "professional" grade jeweler's
    tools --if you get serious about your jewelry work you'll want to
    upgrade-- they are are very satisfactory if you're doing modest
    amounts of work in silver and want to do so at the minimum cost and
    hassle. 

Cheers,
