If you mean a braising torch, again I don't think that this will work, but for the opposite reason, this one won't pull enough air into it to produce a neutral flame. Better to spend the 12 or so pounds for the hothead. This site has a good bit of info on the hothead.... http://www.sundanceglass.com/hotheadr.htm good luck and have fun.
