I've been using a plumber's propane torch in my miniforge since day one.  I have a full sized forge, but still use that little one for heat treating most everything.

I use propane and a JTH-7 torch and haven't had a problem getting it really hot inside.

I chose to use the Mapp gas over the propane just because it burns hotter...they even had some on sale at home depot last week. Here's some pics of my latest project utilizing the "mini forge"
