Propane Torch Alternative Tank
1999

Sometimes I like to use a propane torch to sweat off mirror brackets or heat hard to clean door channels. A normal propane torch is top-heavy and is prone to fall over if even slightly touched. I bought a propane tank from the hardware store that was designed for camping equipment. It has the same capacity in what it holds, but the tank is much shorter but bigger in diameter. Much harder to knock over. Cost about $3.00 a cylinder.
