Had a funny thing happen. I ran out of acetylene and was getting ready to go to town for more, and i remembered doing a lot of cutting on the farm with oxy propane 40 plus years ago.
I found a 20 pound bottle and got back after it. My guess is about 1/3 as many BTU from the rosebud, but it was enough to heat the 3" wide strip to an even dull orange -brown. I only had about 6" to blacksmith into place so that saved me an hour plus round trip to get the high octane stuff.
