Torches

The Complete Metalsmith mentions and pictures a number of different types of
torches but actually says almost nothing about them.

I would like to avoid two gasses but need something better than the little
butane thing I bought and the hardware store propane one is just too much of
a good thing in all the wrong places.

What are my other options?

When a gas and air torch is mentioned, is this compressed air or just
ambient air?

Is map gas useful? How bout acetelyn.

Air-acetylene for a start.
Torch/hose/regulator rigs like Goss or Pres-o-lite are good.
The littlest bottles don't last long enough. Buy one
that stands about a yard high.
