Can MAPP gas be used to weld a frame?

Hi, this is my first post and have been doing a little research over the past few days and am ready to dive in.

I have something similar to this at home, and was wondering if it was good enough to put together a frame. I know it will be harder since i need to get used to the flame, how to hold it, distance from metal, and so on. But would this suffice?


Thanks in advance

I don't have a clue. Fine for brazing, no doubt, but gas welding, I don't know. It looks like there's just one cylinder, of oxygen. But the descrip says there's Mapp gas. You definitely need fuel + oxygen, not just one or the other.
