occasional use gas torch for heating and brazing

[How much]

I have a very occasional need for some limited workshop heat on smallish bolts or bearing I don't really want to go down the big or even small rental bottles i have used a butane type plumbers torch with limited effectiveness but think there may be a better solution.
has any one have experience of any disposable type mapp gas or maybe oxy propane type setups that maybe have a higher temp or a smaller more intense flame that i should look at ?

Buy an O2 bottle and a small propane ,,you can get a cutting nozzle for a propane gun ,works just as good as oxycetalene

As above. SGS do a rent free 30 litre oxygen bottle.

I use MAPP cylinders, hotter than butane, but still need a lot of patience if say heating steel bar for bending.

Did I not see someone on a website mixing mapp and oxygen together lately or am I starting to dote a bit.

That looks like a handy setup , you can get something similar here in the uk https://www.thewelderswarehouse.com/Welding-Supplies/oxy-propane-kits.html for beetween £120 and £150.00 I think , and looks like it will do my type of job I really don't see any point in cutting with it though when grinder would do a better job faster .

Replacement bottles 18.50 for Gas and 18.50 for 2 oxy , I assume these would last 1/2 an hr plus used on heating something.

thanks for the replies

I have an oxy cutting torch and a few nozzles I might sell if you're interested

it works ok but not as hot as acetylene

Only need acetylene for welding
Propane will do anything else

A carbon arc torch is pretty hot and fits your stick welder.
