Why does natural gas work better? Natural gas actually has more heat than acetylene in the outer flame to wrap the fitting and bring it up to temperature more evenly. When you apply the rod it flows farther, fills better and reduces oxidation problems.
Natural gas is plenty hot but the flame is softer and more forgiving for better control, less chance for melt through and fewer surface defects.

The Edison Welding Institute says...
Natural gas is an excellent fuel...it had less tendency to round the top edge of the cut and produced less slag or dross. Also, the dross that was produced...did not adhere as tightly to the plate and was more easily removed. No difference was found in cutting speed between acetylene and natural gas...

When employees used portable propane tanks for shrink wrapping pallets on production lines they kept running out of gas. When one tank ran empty, instead of taking it out across the parking lot to fill it up on a cold winter day, they would grab the tank on the next line over, and eventually all the tanks were empty!

A torch fueled with natural gas has a large bulbous flame that actually has more BTUs than acetylene so it is perfect for heating large areas. The bigger the item being heated the better natural gas performs compared to other gases.
Natural gas costs half as much as propane and acetylene and 75% less than propylene. Best of all there are no limits on withdrawal rates (acetylene is limited to 15 psi) and no icing of the cylinder valve that is common with liquid fuel gases.
