I want to set this torch up with propane, not acetylene. I have one hooked up to acetylene and want another to work slightly cooler. Is this okay?

Would work much better if one was Oxygen the other Propane or other such gas. Just please follow the Smiths instructions carefully.

As long as you've got the propane regulator it's fine. This torch requires TWO connections, though, or you can't adjust it. That means you'd need to have an oxy regulator and a propane regulator to adjust the flame. I think Smith sells the propane regulator on Amazon.

Yes you can use with propane no problem. I personally use this torch with propane mix to weld glass items together. Works great!

Alternate fues should work, provided that you have an appropriate regulator and the neccesary safety devices. Contact your local welding supply.

Though most qualities of butane will work with this unit, I believe you will get a longer useful life from this torch by using a cleaner, refined butane. I noticed some clogging on mine from using a standard quality butane at times.

My heater is hooked up to propane but the installer should have checked for leaks at the time it was hooked up. Surely they used the correct connector piece for ng. This model can use either one but has to be connected up properly with the correct connector piece. I would call them back. If you did not have a professional hook it up, you need to get one there ASAP to be sure you are safe. I have purchased 3 of the ProCom Vent-Free heaters over the years for different locations in the house and never had a problem but they were installed by professionals because safety is always #1 for my family and myself. My advise is to contact your professional installer to be sure you are safe. My heater is hooked up to propane but the installer should have checked for leaks at the time it was hooked up.

I have two different types of butane gas burners and I find it difficult to get a low enough flame on both of them to properly cook rice, grains, or to simmer soups or stews without all the liquid boiling off. I wanted to know if there were any other portable gas burners that were more sensitive to being set at low temps!

This makes the best blackened fish. I do it all the time on a gas grill, so a propane burner should be just fine.

Can't offer any info on the propane question, we have both of ours hooked up to natural gas. They are great, did not disappoint us and never needed any venting.

You will need regulators to use this torch. There is a kit available for small tanks. This is more expensive to use but practical for limited use.

I suggest going to a welding supply company as there are different configurations depending on what kind of gas you want to use. BTW I used these torches for 30 years before retiring. Best one available for fine work.

You will need an oxy-acetylene tank set to attach to this torch. Here's an example:http://www.amazon.com/Xtremepowerus-Professional-Acetylene-Welding-Cutting/dp/B00C1RXSQS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1420230483&sr=8-4&keywords=oxy-acetylene+tanks

I use a propane tank with mine and never tried anyother way. I love this grill and use it all the time.

I can not speak for Camp Chef, but as someone who knows about gas/propane yes you could. The burners will not burn at the same temp as the manufacture intended (meaning the BTU rating) There is a fifferent size orfice between gas and propane. Propane burns hotter there for the orfice is smaller then a NG or natural gas. The BTU would be lower for the burner then what it would be for propane. High would be Med, Med would be Low, and etc.

Not 100% on this but am pretty sure you can use other fuel cans as long as they have similar tops for attaching torch.

I would like to use the larger size propane tank with this grill. Is it safet to do that and were could I buy a supply line to connect the two?

You can regulate the flow of propane to the burner and it will affect the temperature, How much I don't know. I lower it when I want it on, but am not soldering anything.

I would recommend denatured alcohol, which you can find in most hardware stores without a problem. I took a quick look online regarding the use of propane and couldn't find much. Fortunately, the alcohol is cheap, burns clean, and is easy to carry.

I don't know but it does get hot enough to melt se ur softer metals. It burns as hot at regular propane torch. Just smaller which means less gas. Run good butane tho. Or ur waisting ur time

I've only used mine with propane last year. Yellowjackets too bad to mess with food outdoors!Sorry
