Hi Lisa,

    congratulations on your Mecco midget, it's the best torch I've ever
    used. Mine has lasted 18 years with not problem at all. 

    I've worked with natural gas in my studio for years and had a
    plumber run the lines and put on the necessary attachments. I have
    also worked in a trade shop that used a long line to run gas to each
    of about 10 benches. Make sure to have a cutoff valve easily
    accessible just in case of trouble. 

    Natural gas is one of the best gasses I've worked with. In the trade
    shop they taught me to turn off the oxygen when not soldering and
    leave the natural gas flame burning. With a little practice you can
    do it with one hand. Of course you want to be as safe as you can so
    check all your connections as you would with any gas.
