Please look again. You may have been quietly
sold yellow cans of "Mapp-Pro".

MAPP is Methylated something Propylene. And it was available in bulk
and 20-pound BBQ style cylinders for a while through Welding Supply
houses and such, not sure what the current status is. If I need a
large quantity like that, Acetylene is more convenient because you can
weld with it too.

I just bought a couple 1-pound MAPP cylinders at Home Depot for a hand
torch not long ago, so it's still around. MAPP-Air gets hotter than
Propane-Air for little plumbing jobs where I don't feel like lugging a
B Acetylene.

Bernzomatic is pushing the little-baby 1/4-pound MAPP cylinders there
for hand torches, but that's stupid - they can't hold enough energy to
cover the cost of making the containers.
