Yes, and they actually have a working thermostat, so they aren’t complete garbage to solder electronics with.
Gas powered soldering irons are great for soldering stuff like copper water pipes. But even soldering through-hole components with them is a pain in the ass due to the temperature instantly evaporating all your flux. Soldering SMD components is near impossible with them
I like the pinecil, usb-c powered soldering iron with temperature control. If you are not doing anything intensive any fast smartphone charger will power it.
There are also battery powered soldering irons.

I’ve had mine running off of a power bank before too.
yes but that sounds boring and doesn’t require having a functionally super-hot piece right near a reserve of acetylene.
