Can I Use a Propane Blow Torch for Gl-Blowing?

Hey everyone, I have a propane bottle (a little smaller than a 2 liter soda bottle) with a blow-torch tip, with an adjuster to let out a certain amount of propane. I light the end with a flint or a lighter. If I purchased the right gl rods, would I be able to use that as a gl-blowing torch to practice to see if I would like to get into the industry? Also, where would I be able to purchase beginners rods, for making things such as tobacco pipes, water pipes, as well as other items that would be sold at a tobacco store? I'm thinking about opening my own store, and have no experience at all, but am very interested in art / design. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If that blow torch wont work at all, then any links as to where I would buy an appropriate beginner gl-blowing torch would be great. If anyone has any online guides as reference to blowing pipes and such, that would be a great help too. Thanks in advance, Zach.
