Phil, I wasn't looking that hard. Had several other more important items to procure, so could have passed over some and just not seen them. But I can't recall ever seeing one in the wild. About 2 months ago I came across one at a thrift sale, but it was all black - like it had caught on fire.
Priced at $10, but I didn't think it would clean up well.
And I'm with you - I wouldn't risk lighting mine. I've heard too many stories about bad things happening. But then again tradesmen used these things all over for decades, so, IDK.
One guy on utube uses Coleman camp fuel in his torch. Did a demo, and it seemed to work well. Read that white gas is the same thing as camp fuel, though I've also read the Coleman stuff is naphtha. Gasoline before they added lead was also called white gas. So I really don't know what to think.
