What is propane?
Propane is a portable, clean and efficient energy source which supplies about four percent of total U.S. energy needs. It is a byproduct of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, and exists as both a liquid and a gas.

Propane is sometimes referred to as liquified petroleum gas, LP gas, or LPG. About 90 percent of our propane is produced in America, making it a stable, domestic energy source. It is nontoxic, colorless and virtually odorless - but, for your protection, odor is added so it can be easily detected when necessary. The chemical odorant that is added is called ethyl mercaptan, which has a strong smell similar to rotten eggs.
