Mapp or propane?

Mapp is the way forward

mapps better outdoors in cold or windy weather when doing gas lines.
if your on price work, 400 joints an hour use mapp.
cost more though.

propane- i personally feel like I have more control.

I can't get along with Mapp

propane, u can easily get too hot with map.
unless you regularly solder 35/42/54mm copper tube, then you wanna bigger burner!

Totally agree larger copper needs much more heat upto 28 with propane anything above its mapp

Mapp - although you have to move quick with 15mm

I agree with most lads on here, I use propane on my domestic work purely because it seems to stop my superfire from breaking, when i was on as a subbie for a commercial shop fitting group I was soldering 54mm endfeed day in day out and went through 2 superfires in two months with no explanation back from the cocky rothenberger rep.
