Explain oxy- acetylene welding process?

Why welders use welding torch instead of flame of firewood?

An oxy-acetylene welding torch is used for welding rather than a flame from firewood because it is possible to concentrate the energy and heat at one small precise location, to move it readily, to generate a lot of heat in one small area, to control the amount of heat precisely, and to control the amount of oxygen in the flame and therefore the oxidation occurring at the weld.
