Typicaly a propane torch is a pair of metal tubes with a brass or cast-iron head holding a copper tip and a base containing a levered valve with mixing cone. The base or handle, mixes oxygen and propane (adjustable with a pair of valves) to maintain a "neutral flame". The Lever on the handle opens up a larger flow of oxygen to allow the propane-oxygen mix to burn through various materials, usually steel.
For a long list of torches for sale (propane and others) look into Eddies welding in TX. 1-800-4ATORCH. That's where I get most of my gear. Or enquire at the Praxair website.
