Dale's solution for the HH also works well but why not move up to a 'big girls torch'? You know you want to...
I have no place to store a 5# tank. I'm on the second level in a condo complex, our outside tiny deck is above where my neighbours bbq, yes they light that sucker under the wood, it's NJ whad'ya want...

I can build a box and hang from the railing (like a planter) a box to hold 1# cannisters but not a 3 or 5# major bummer.

and oh yes, I want to!!!

the step from cannister to torch vs cannister to hose to torch scares me, but I just need someone to show me and I think I can get that to happen<hoping> and then I'll be good.

thanks for all the responses. I can start with the hose to the mapp can to the HH until I get an oxycon, that will start to get me used to idea.

now to psyche myself into it...
