2 mapp bottles vs large propane bottle

[eddiebrown424]

does anyone have a view. I need to solder a couple of 54mm joints on copper. Ive done his before with 2 people, each with a mapp bottle but it still takes a time. Would it be quicker if i used a large propane bottle, hose and torch my thinking is that a larger area would get heated.

thanks

Mapp gas is fine, one bottle, just don't hang around!

2 mapp torches, one in each hand, then put one down and pick up the solder while working the heat with remaining torch
