Stone knives and bearskins.....and a NEW EVERLAST 164SI !!!
That's my newly shared work welder.
At home I got a Power Tig 185 DV. Nice, but no plasma cutting... Nice tight arc after a second.

Propane, or natural gas, maybe acetylene, or some kinda mix like map gas or propylene. Lots of different mixes but each has its own burn rates and heat outputs.
I have more questions than answers

Or said yet another way, not my words but copied

"Various gases such as acetylene, natural gas, propane, propylene and hydrogen can be used as a fuel for cutting and welding, heat treatment, as power and energy for transportation and combined with oxygen, for various industrial processes."

In general, any flammable gas is fuel gas. There are many types. There are advantages and disadvantages with each.
