Most use propane, but you can use acetylene also. Just as long as you don't get it too hot. Propane will not melt copper, but acetylene will.

Definition of soldering and brazing?
Brazing is actually not a method of welding as it does not melt the joint metal together. Brazing is actually much closer to soldering. It is a process that (usually) uses a gas torch and a thin brass rod to bind two (or more) pieces of metal together. The torch heats the joints surface to the melting temperature of brass at which time the brass filler rod is melted into the joint to fuse them together.
