Probably not. I don't think handling very hot copper tubing in your kitchen is a good idea. :-[

I tend to hang the copper in my shed and work all around it with a Go System Butane Mix Torch. This is a great piece of kit if you're going to do your own soldering. ;)

Here's one on ebay http://www.ebay.ie/itm/GO-SYSTEM-DIY-REFILLABLE-BUTANE-BLOW-SOLDERING-PLUMBING-TORCH-LAMP-MIX-GAS-CAN-/130730378868

You'll probably get one locally to you handy enough. ;D
