     I have a stupid question that no one else has asked yet, but I bet
has occured to others on this list. Could you somehow 'slow down' a
Petrogen torch some, and use it as a burner in a gas forge? Or would it
still just cut a hole through the bottom? If some one got this to work,
they'd have fuel available pretty much everywhere. Also, I was wondering
if it would still work if you used compressed air in it instead of
Oxygen. That would simplify things. 
     I'm not interested in this for myself, I like poking at a coal fire
too much, but I know you gas forge folks are always figuring ways get
your forges tweaked just a leetle bit hotter or cheaper or something.
