propane (and propane accessories)

[Gil Bang 26050]

Was at the local station filling a tank for the patio heater, and a thought hit me:  we hear a lot about the quality of gasoline.  Chevron/Shell/Mobil vs. the cheapie station, Premium vs. Regular, etc.

Yet, propane is just propane.  I've never heard that "this" propane is better or worse than "that" propane.

I've heard that butane  is a bastard gas. 

 

Is it all the same?

Ask your daddy.

I tell you what.

I only use premium propane when cooking for myself. If cooking for guests, I use the cheap shit.

You CA folks get a propane with more propylene in it for your emissions standards.  I think it’s HD10

The rest of us slobs get HD5 with less or no propylene.  
 

There is a commercial grade which is wired differently. 
 

It all pretty much burns the same. 
 

No need to look for or purchase hand-made, artisan propane.

So, the motherfucker that's been selling me "organic" propane at the farmer's market has been bullshitting me?

On top of that, it’s probably methane.

6 bucks a refill for a standard backyard grill bottle in Panama.

I’ve been told that they sell a filtered propane. Not sure what that consists of.
