beginner brazing questions

The rack post has got me very curious about making my own rack. Being mostly a wood worker, I have a few questions.
Being cheap will allow me to hide this project from the wife, so I do not have a lot of money to burn on this idea (no pun intended). I don't need heavy duty equipment as I would stick to racks and not move on to frames. It would also not be a primary hobby, just a couple of small projects.
I have a cheap propane torch Is this too cheap for brazing? http://bernzomatic.com/PRODUCTS/TORC...3/Default.aspx
If it wont work, what is a cheap torch that would work.
I have done an internet search and am having a hard time finding a website that talks about brazing instead of welding. What are good suppliers of brazing rods with actual information about the product.
I figured out where to get the steel already.
Thanks
Scott
