You won't find lead solder at the big box stores, and in my experience
the lead-free solder works equally well on potable water copper pipes or
hydronic heating copper pipes.
Or equally poorly.

I guess if you're still trying to use Propane or are just bad at
soldering plumbing. I use MAPP and have never had any problem with the
lead-free solder or lead-free flux paste, and I've replumbed entire
houses.
