    You know John, I guess it is just habit. It might be that some of my
    pieces are large and I think I need the bigger flame, but perhaps I
    don't need that big of a flame. Argentium doesn't need heat except
    for the joint. I am going to try to use the baby more often. The baby
    is faster for sure and that is a good thing. 

Have a good day,

Susan
