I moved to the country years ago and was on acetylene. Was in the nearby town of about 500 one day and a senior gent was cutting away on a 55 gallon drum with propane.
We chatted. I had propane around the farm for heating and other things. I went to the welding store and got some propane (larger holes) tips and had been using it ever since.....like 20 years.
Bro-in-law up and gives me his acetylene rig; about a B tank size....not too big to easily roll around the shop. Used it a couple of times and had forgotten how much easier it is to use than propane.
So now, I have the propane rig (large volume outfit) for my coarse, large job cutting, but for everything else it"s acetylene.
Then, lo and behold Tractor Supply starts handling welding gases at very reasonable prices and that was just a plus.
In short, the acetylene burns hotter, is easier to start the torch, cuts with a smaller, easier to control flame, and is much easier to start and return to the cut.
