@russmeyer did some mapp brazing with good results

Lots of people do it. I've only tried mapp with silver but apparently it'll work with brass as well as long as it's for small stuff e.g. racks

Late reply but kinda relates to something I came here to ask...
I've been playing about with Mapp for a couple years now. I find it works fine with silver but I have real trouble using Sifbronze rods, just doesn't wanna melt/take to the joints I've been trying to make.
My question to @coldharbour or anyone else that cares to proffer an opinion, are oxy mapp or oxy turbo setups a worthwhile upgrade to plain mapp?
As with @Biggles567 I'm struggling to justify the expense and extra effort in sourcing bottles etc to go full oxy acet but I wanna do stuff that's out of the scope of mapp.

@Biggles567
having now done a framebuilding course, im having trouble sleeping at night because all i can think about when lying in bed is "dammit i wanna do more brazing".However as any brazing I would undertake would be strictly hobbyist, I cant justify space and money needed to accomadate an oxy setup.
Having done a little bit of looking it seems that some people have success with smaller MAPP torches and silver (and brass?) for small projects (racks and such)
Has anyone here got any experience with this kind of thing? brazing/soldering with mapp?
