- Does the Handy Flame torch come with butane?
- No. It is sold as the torch head only and uses a standard 8 oz butane canister, which you supply separately.
- How hot does the flame get?
- The adjustable flame reaches up to 2,375 degrees F, which is hot enough for soldering, brazing, searing, and lighting charcoal.
- How do I attach it to a canister?
- Push the torch head onto the canister and twist to lock it in place. The one-touch ignition then lights the flame.
- Can I use it for cooking?
- Yes, the adjustable flame works for searing, caramelizing sugar, and finishing dishes, but keep it away from flammable items and never leave it unattended.
- Is it good for soldering copper pipe?
- It produces enough heat for small soldering and brazing jobs. For larger pipe or sustained work, a torch with a larger fuel supply and a lock-on flame is easier.
- Does the flame stay lit without holding the button?
- The one-touch ignition lights the flame, but there is no lock-on, so you keep the torch in hand while it runs.
