MAPP gas is no longer available... Map was/is, a mixture of methylacetylene (propyne) and propadiene. But is no longer being manufactured on N. American continent...

The replacement for MAPP gas is MAP-PRO gas (propylene) .... MAPP & MAP-PRO are a little hotter than propane by about 600-800° f. ... The flip side is propane will work just as well. Maybe a little slower to heat than MAP-PRO, but is about 1/3 to 1/2 the price of MAP-PRO...

More information (more then you want to know ) here...
