What about gaz powered soldering irons? You did not tell us what you
want to solder - cables, electronic components, THT/SMD, if SMD,
which size, is accurate temperature necessary etc.

I use with good success a Weller Pyropen, but every other soldering
tool with catalytic combustion (no open flame) will do the job.
