The man smartly rebranded a roofers torch and even said it wasn’t a flamethrower and made a shit ton of money.
Edit: This is basically what he sold but made it look like a flamethrower.

Yes, you can and many do. MAPP, butane or propane can work. The flame needs to be managed: spreading it to even out the burn and insuring complete combustion to avoid off-tastes. This little device is an effective but pricey way to do that, others just use an old fashioned flame spreader.
Flame throwers are significantly less regulated than firearms. here's one for sale from Amazon for $240
Somebody took a piece out of that regulator they shouldn’t have. That female hole should have came with a fitting already in it.
You can kind of see it here.

>Her torch is actually not set up right for welding, it looks like she is about to cut something with the torch instead
Oxy-fuel welder here. That's a cutting torch.
Cutting torches have a squeeze-action handle that floods oxygen into the line. Her fuel/oxy ratio suggests that someone set this scene up for a photo shoot and nothing more. Typical oxy-fuel mixtures have a smaller flame for more precision. Large flames (like the one in the picture) have a different torch (a large cone) that is used to distribute the heat more efficiently/evenly.
Note Not just any "Blow torch" can cut steel, even the thin stuff from a tin can. The blue propane bottle ones you get from Home Depot WILL NOT do this. Generally to cut steel, you need Oxygen in addition to the fuel gas (So Oxy-Propane, Oxy-Acetylene, or Oxy-MAPP).
She probably uses a torch similar to this one:
Or this knockoff from eBay:
(There are probably lots of others)
You can get Oxygen & Acetylene tanks at a local welding supply company. You are probably looking at $150-200 for both tanks (Total) initially if you get small ones. Refills will be much, much cheaper.
1: throw that water supply away and buy a 1/4" braided stainless hose. That plastic line is junk.
2: go to a home improvement store and buy a 1/2 x1/2x1/4" brass compression tee. http://www.amazon.com/Plumb-Pak-PP2039LF-Add-A-Tee-Lead/dp/B003OERVYC
3: connect it to the cold water line (at the faucet and fish the new stainless hose through the cabinets.
*or call a plumber and spend $200 to do it for you, I say it often in the SUB. A leak/flood is major cost. Even a weeping connection will ruin your cabinets if not caught in time.
I had a pretty inexpensive mapp oxy setup when I first started. MR.TORCH Oxygen MAPP/Propane Cutting Torch kit, Free Accessory of Flint Lighter and Cylinder Holder Rack, Duel Fuel by Oxygen and MAPP PRO/Propane, Welding Brazing Soldering,Gas Cylinders Not Included https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NVQS9D1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_LOy4DbCJWC68D
I briefly considered buying this thing.
Definitely a tapered pipe thread. Used for compressed inert shielding gasses like argon. https://www.amazon.com/Welding-Water-Fitting-Argon-Inert/dp/B07DFP66Z8
I thought the same thing re: how the heck did they find me my first year planting pumpkins/squash, ever. They're moths and they're awful! My injections of pyrethrin saved my plant, and I amputated an unlucky vine that just wasn't going to make it, but it looks like it might put on fruit...not sure if it's edible now, though.
I'm going to be planning on tilling up the ground this winter, then using about 10 gallons of propane through a 500,000 BTU torch - https://www.amazon.com/Lincoln-Electric-KH825-01-Inferno-Torch/dp/B00BJQUUHC/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=500000+btu+torch&link_code=qs&qid=1566252468&s=gateway&sourceid=Mozilla-search&sr=8-2 is what I use - to roast the soil both before and after tilling.
Next year, I'm going to put row covers on and a ground cover mulch. I'll also be using a gratuitous amount of spinosad, neem, and possibly BT in addition to topical pyrethroids and insecticidal soap. I probably will avoid Sevin in the future.
I plan to heat the soil surface up to above boiling and keep it there for a good 15-20 seconds. No survivors. Bwahahahahahahahahaha.

What Elon musk sold was a rebranded tool that I can buy at home depot. Its literally a Roofing torch. A Flamethrower is a completely different thing.
The only clear advantage I can see over using just the TS4000/8000 alone would be that you could hold the torch at a more comfortable angle. But my solution for that is an extension hose:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bernzomatic-WH0159-Universal-Torch-Extension-Hose-361542/202539579?keyword=extension+hose+bernzomatic&semanticToken=21300000011_20190716120854509441_lx7j+21300000011+%3E++cnn%3A%7B0%3A0%7D+cnr%3A%7B7%3A1%7D+cnb%3A%7B0%3A0%7D+st%3A%7Bextension+hose+bernzomatic%7D%3Ast+oos%3A%7B0%3A1%7D+br%3A%7Bbernzomatic%7D%3Abr+pt%3A%7Bhose%7D%3Apt+rt%3A%7Bextension%7D%3Art+dln%3A%7B4295173221%7D+qu%3A%7Bextension+hose+bernzomatic%7D%3Aqu
It's possible that it spreads the flame a bit and might make searing quicker than the torch alone. Bernzomatic does make flame spreaders, but unfortunately they don't fit the TS4000/8000 for some reason:
https://www.amazon.com/Bernzomatic-Stainless-Steel-Flame-Spreader/dp/B0000DINGL/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1IJTF7YG1A5FK&keywords=torch+spreader&qid=1563293102&s=gateway&sprefix=torch+sprea%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-2
The Searzall is great for melting hard to melt cheese on your sous vide burgers before they overcook (and quickly toasting your buttered buns too), but it is too slow to torch steaks.
I did this before laying sod, it worked pretty well. First, I would recommend spraying the whole yard with roundup and waiting a week or two. This will kill off a good majority of everything you have, allow it to dry, and make it easier to burn. You could skip this step, but it's going to be much more difficult to burn everything if it's wet. Just remember that you have to wait a minimum of 3 days after applying roundup to re-seed.
Also, keep in mind that this method will not kill seeds and rhizomes that are buried in the ground. You're going to want a torch like this.
This is what you need. The hold flame on wood method works perfectly fine if you have enough heat. Trust me, I was a Boy Scout.
If you're going the old fashioned way dryer lint makes a really good starter. And a good rule with the kindling is always have 3-4x as much as you think you'll need. When I taught fire building the people that had trouble getting a fire going usually ran out.
Ah shit my bad. I've never seen a propane one. Sorry!
Is it like this.

This kit has served me well. I wouldn't use it all day every day, but I've wired up a few cars and panels with it.
https://www.amazon.com/SÜA-Oxy-Fuel-Cutting-Acetylene-Compatible/dp/B07BTL3JWF/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1542596021&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=cutting+torch&dpPl=1&dpID=319hY-wK8pL&ref=plSrch
Try this, never fails. Can’t be stuck if it’s liquid.

I went the buddy, half the price and works great.
This one is the one I'm fond of, but it's definitely a lot more money: https://www.amazon.com/Bernzomatic-ST250-Micro-Torch-Kit/dp/B0000CBJBQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1479130801&sr=8-7&keywords=Micro+Torch
Also, I have no idea what that video is about, and if I saw a guy filming and talking to himself like that in public I would probably call security.
Hey there, figured I'd give an update.
Replaced both our super old mercury thermostat and the thermocouple. Verified couple is giving ~22mv to the gas valve, which should be enough right?
I might be able to squeeze out a little more voltage by adjusting how much the end is in the pilot light.
I can hold down the red ignition button for 5sec, release and furnace kicks over and heats house to desired temp from thermostat. But once at temperature, it's not turning on by itself again (regularly at least).
So I think that's some progress from original post least. Kinda thinking the only thing left to replace is the actual gas valve right? Was looking at this Honeywell international valve.
So we know it's not a 24volt issue right? What's the stat?
I would use something like this http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-VR8200A2132-International-Valve/dp/B00ECV2W90.
You can buy an oxy-acetylene torch set on amazon
I have this kit, twice, with the regulator, is it enough? Or should I follow your recommendation anyway?
But thank you very much for your advice
Edit: forgot to link the kit
Here you go
[TurboTorch] (https://www.amazon.com/TurboTorch-0386-0007-Torch-Swirl-MAP-Pro/dp/B000NO56DE) if you want to hang with the big boys. It's a great torch if sweating copper is part of your job, for a homeowner might be a bit spendy.
I live in Canada so I have to get it shipped of Amazon.ca, are both of these products the same as the one you linked? The reason I asked is because the prices are significantly different to each other:
https://www.amazon.ca/Little-Torch-Tips-Box-Acetylene/dp/B001DZIML0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504405912&sr=8-1&keywords=smiths+torch

I recommend a head net and bug spray also buy a red dragon finally it'll be mud season don't mess up the trails. Consider canoeing. Less bugs on the water too.
Can't cover the lug nuts if it's liquid.
https://www.amazon.com/Hot-Max-MM-1-Mobile-Portable/dp/B00440DVEY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?
I have both but use charcoal a lot more now that I have a weed torch. Starts charcoal in literal seconds, and you can kill weeds in your sidewalk cracks too.
You can buy an extender tee that you can mount just after the valve, it will have a 1/4 inch fpt on the side and 1/2 on top
This is a common setup for dishwashers and water filters
