Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Would a blow torch work on Titan?

Titan's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, but almost 2% is composed of organic compounds (mostly methane, with some ethane, acetylene and traces of heavier compounds like benzene). Could oxygen by itself be used to fuel a blow-torch in such an atmosphere? How about a combustion engine? Fuel cell?
