Never noticed smell to be honest unless you mean the burning skirting boards...

Dont worry love it was only a small fire and anyway the flood put it out. Have you got any towels?....:p
 
MAPP is just waste of money. We need just 230-250 degrees to melt lead free solder and little less for tin/lead. On plain propane we can heat the fitting up to 500 degrees or even more.

i agree upto a point.

not always easy soldering outside in wind on a cold day with propane. also larger pipe diameters 28 mm upwards it is beneficial to use mapp.
