Anyway, some people will run the center fire on a concentrator and the outer fire on a tank (or another concentrator, depending on how much oxygen it needs).
That is very cool stuff. I would love to see some of these larger torches. Ross at ABR was using a "cannon" one day when I was up there. I was amazed that he could work with so much flame. I guess I need to get out more. lol jack
