  • I would title this clip, "Using Fire To Burn Through Metal."  That's about 99% more accurate, as a description.

  • oxy-acetylene. The oxygen wouldn't burn on it's own, it needs a source of reduced carbon to oxidize. In the case of a welding torch, O2 oxidizes acetylene, in the case of this torch, the o2 oxidizes the sausage. The cucumber is just a good container that is minimally flammable because of its water content.
