Kiln heat source

OK got my brick started building my kiln for heat treating. My question is: what works best for heat source? I have a Propane torch and, have looked at a weed killing torch but, I am not sure if they will put out enough heat to quench the blade. So what do yall recommend for a heat source and how hot does it need to be.
