I'm looking at getting a new iron and thought some of you might know of cheaper sources. It needs to be propane fired with an interchangeable head as we have two different reg# to burn.
Any thoughts?

Hardwood; we've looked at them all since we need a replacement also. Found no cheaper prices than the folks that advertise in the Bee Journals.  |

Thanks for the replies...those are in line with what I've been looking at. I was kinda hoping there might be a harbor freight type of cheapo out there but I guess not. Lessons learned...don't keep your good irons out in the weather for more than 5 years or so  Scott |

Which type did you get? Is it torch or electric? Are the electrics ok for small scale use? Do they burn as deeply? |

Mine is propane. I have it on one of those tanks like you use on your BBQ... an electric won't get hot enough to be of much use. The propane one takes a while to get hot enough as it is...

Scott think i saw them in the last Rockler book i got here is a link to their stuff http://www.rockler.com/c/branding-irons.cfmever considered a small mapp gas torch set? mapp gas is one of the hotter burning gases you can get and should heat the irons quicker. Not to metion it comes in handy when ya need to do some serious metal cutting aka West Virginia cresent wrench.  |

I ended up ordering from brandnew.com. They gave me the best price and were great to work with. I'm expecting my new iron tomorrow.
