It should. By how much I cant say. I used a HH with the small MAPP and Propane cylinders for a few months or so before upgrading to my lynx and it always seemed to operate in reduction. I suspect that the issue then becomes that the HH will not have enough air to function properly since it relies on gas pressure to pull in air. If you read the thread you posted Dale states this at some point. The HH is already somewhat air/oxygen deprived in reduction and anything you do to lower the pressure will only make it worse. Sounds like a great experiment for someone. Didnt really intend for this to get heated but I really dont feel good about it and I dont want to wake up some morning and find out that the person we suggested this setup to hurt themselves or others around them.
