I'm in the market for a soldering kit. I have a cheap ($12) pencil type iron but was wondering if a butane or other cordless type would be reccomended. The portability is attractive (on the road or on the boat for example).....

Does anyone have any reccomendations (pro & con) with regard to soldering equipment?
