Bob,
Have you looked at WAHL? They have a line of battery powered irons. I used
one a lot many years ago and thought that it did a decent job. That being
said, I was not using it on smt boards, and their tip selection was limited.
However, the tip temperature is probably more controlled than your butane
unit.Bruce Tostevin
