Solder-It is this way - the flame stays entirely under the soldering
top, and is enclosed.

(That propane flame has to go somewhere.)
There used to be models that had a flame chamber filled with metal
mesh, more of a catalytic convertor looking thing, that a burner. I
think they ran on a butane cartridge. I saw one in use once, there
was an orange glow through the holes, the tip had a plastic cover with
a cigarette lighter looking striker. I used to see them a lot in the
80's, and 90's. Still heat, but not the licks of flame coming out. I
wonder if there are still out there?
