Propane Torch A propane torch is a simple heating torch, sometimes referred to as a blowlamp or blowtorch, which uses fuel mixed with atmospheric air. It will typically run on propane cartridges, or be fed from a liquid petroleum gas cylinder via a hose. They produce a much larger, softer flame than an oxy-fuel torch and are used for lower temperature applications - soldering, brazing, melting roof tar, or pre-heating large castings before welding (such as for repairing cast-iron cylinder heads). They cannot be used for welding, but find many other uses, not least because in their simplest form of a disposable canister feeding a hand-held torch they are very cheap and highly portable, and because the LPG fuel is very cheap in comparison to acetylene and oxygen.
