The small black …
The small black block is a compressed charcoal block – I prefer compressed to regular charcoal because it’s sturdier, longer lasting, and less messy. I believe I bought that one from Contenti.
The white board underneath that is a Solderite board. And I got that one from Otto Frei.
(I’d put links on here, but YouTube won’t let me – just search for those companies and you’ll find your supplies.)
Good luck!

That’s a propane and oxygen torch in our video.
Acetylene and oxygen would burn much hotter.

There is also a little trick to getting the correct amount of acetylene for the torch tip you are using. When you turn on the acetylene at first you will get some Pittsburg snow, that’s the black stuff coming off the tip of the fuel flame. Increase the flow until it just stop, and then turn on the Oxygen. If the combined flam is too big or too small you should go the correct tip for the job, thanks and later
