Just got my Benchsource annealer and instantly wondered if there would be any benefit from using the hotter MAP gas (in the yellow bottles where I live). Any thoughts?
MAP Gas to anneal???

Wow what did that machine run. Pretty impressive. I would contact manufacturer and see if it is recommended.
No. Way too hot...makes the final temp to time critical. Don't try it unless you are microsecond aware. I have seen the results.
No experience with a Benchsource annealer but the hotter flame as compared to Propane will shorten your anneal time. The temp difference in air is not that much (~1980 vs 2080) but enough to make a difference.
I used to use MAPP gas to cut steel instead of Acetylene. Much cheaper.
