Needed some more heat out of my torch so I got a cylinder of MAPP gas and it says on the label not to use a propane torch. OK fine I go to the local hardware stores and everybody has cylinders but no torches. I did find one torch that said it worked for both but it had a trigger ignitor on it and was $34, those things always wear out. So can somebody tell me why I can't use the propane torch. Fits on the bottle fine an lights.
