Can I use propane in my cutting torch?

Can propane be used in my cutting torch?

Yes - but here are a few facts you might want to consider:

• Some have chosen to use propane for cutting light weight steel, most professionals find that the cutting tip temperature is considerably lower than commercial cutting gases and therefore undesirable . 

• Some have found that preheating the steel with another large BTU capacity torch helps. 

• Beware!  Never attempt to cut open a used propane tank.  Even an empty tank can be extremely dangerous when cut open with a torch.
