    I had a leak at the shutoff valve on a gas stove once. I about sh!t when the plumber pulled out his lighter and lit it. It sat there burning like a pilot light.
    That is how I roll but probably not safe for the internet... I’ve had the hoses on fire while using cutting torches as well
    Burning wood eliminates this problem.

    You'll smell the mercaptan long before you have dangerous gas buildup and those tanks don't explode unless you throw them in a fire or shoot them.


    Someone OBVIOUSLY hasn't seen "Con Air"

  • Can the tanks lose their gas just from sitting in the sun? Had a full 5 gallon tank for my black stone , appeared to be tightly closed .  Let it sit for a couple months over summer and went to use it other day and it was empty .  Still tightly closed, not hooked to BS, never heard any whistling when closing valve . Kind of a newbie to propane as well
