    MAPP gas will work just fine with silver I often use MAPP gas as a
    substitute for propane in my Bernzomatic torch as it burns hotter
    than propane. My Bernzomatic torch is the type that mixes the fuel
    with ambient air, so it is not very hot and MAPP gives it an extra
    boost. I have never tried MAPP gas in my Little Torch as the
    oxy/propane mixture is hot enough for the type of work that I do, but
    there is no reason that I can think of that would cause a problem
    with MAPP and silver in a Little Torch
