Default 2 minors on 1/4 psi natural gas?

I have searched several times but can't find any info about running 2 minors on 1/4 psi natural gas. I currently have one minor running on natural gas and 2 oxycons. I was hoping to add another torch and this would be the easiest way.

Is this possible?

Only issues I can think of is a problem with gas volume, but things like gas water heaters and gas furnaces use a lot more volume per minute that a minor torch (even 2) so gas supply is probably not going to be a problem unless all your other gas appliances come on at same time (not likely) ...

Other issue will be oxygen.... If you are used to the flame/heat of two oxycons on a single minor, you are going to be real disappointed with trying to run two torches on just 2 oxycons (it will be equivilant to 1 torch on 1 oxycon).... You will probably need to add at lease one more oxycon (or consider storage system) or going to tanked (high pressure) oxygen...

Thanks Dale. I am so happy to hear that this is possible. The second torch is for my sister when she visits so it won't be in use very much. I can use both oxycons on one torch when it is just me. I have to say that I didn't notice much of a difference when I added the second oxycon. Maybe I should go back to one for awhile just to see what it would be like.
