How Do Butane Soldering Irons Work?

Butane soldering irons use a butane gas fuel source to generate heat for soldering. Here is how they work:

The butane gas is stored in a refillable tank within the soldering iron. Butane is a hydrocarbon gas that is commonly used in portable heating devices because it is easy to store, transport, and ignite.

The ignition system on a Portasol butane soldering iron involves a piezoelectric system, which generates an electric spark

Soldering is a process of joining two metal surfaces together using a low-melting-point metal alloy called solder. It's a fundamental skill used in various areas including electronics, plumbing, and jewelry making. Here's a soldering how to / beginner's guide to soldering:
