Thanks for the comments. I just do regular soft glass beads, nothing too fancy. So I was thinking of a minor with an M5. Wasn't sure if I needed to get the M10 or not.

Thanks for the details. I was wondering the same thing as I plan to move off the HH and go to natural gas and oxycon.

Yes, it's hot directly where the torch is. Before I had the box, I didn't have any issues. But now the box encloses the space. I'll have to research the recommended space between torch and back. ...

I get very little pressure from the propylene tank when it's outside in the Minnesota winter. Therefore, I can't make beads when the tank is cold.
