    You are either a burner or a learner which one are you? Why do you hate torches. Torches can make you more money then you ever imagined. Imagine being able to cut up stuff that other torchmen can't touch with a 10 foot pole. Its practice practice practice with torching stuff eventually it becomes second nature. Figuring out problems like where to cut up stuff and how to cut stuff without getting hurt or injured. It took me years to perfect cutting scrap. I would suggest you start off with a three foot harris with maybe a number 4 H-scrapper tip. The torch is pretty easy to learn. Get it with a 75 degree head and get something that would you consider big and have at it. Experience trumps everything when cutting up scrap. 20 lbs of propane is fine turn it to 22 if its thicker and 1oo lbs of oxygen will work fine for what you are cutting the bigger it is the more you want to turn it up. You might want to try liquid oxygen for bigger projects. Start small think big. I cut 1440 GT last month. We busted up all kinds of scrap from a concrete plant to steel making equipment to tanks. We blasted through it all. Any questions that you have just shoot me a PM or ask it here and I will try to reply to it. I love talking about cutting scrap.
