Keep hearing about propane being so explosive.  Guess a lot of you have not
been through one of those fire department presentations on safety.  In this
presentation, they show exactly how safe propane is.  Unless you have just
the right mix of propane and air, there is no KABOOM and even then, a KABOOM
will not happen unless the gas is contained.  That means that if you have to
much or to little air, nothing happens with propane.   As stated in one of
the other posts, the gas you put in your tank is far more explosive.
