Default Propane vs. LPG

Propane _is_ LPG. OK, so is butane. But the stuff in the big static
tanks is just the same as in the orange propane cylinders.

Also LPG firing for a kiln is relatively insensitive to jet size and
more sensitive to carburation by adjusting the airflow into the burner.
You'll have to tweak it, but it will still work fine on the same jet.

PS - Get a mains-powered CO meter too. I use an LPG fired kiln and if
we don't ventilate properly the CO levels can get worryingly high. It's
worth monitoring this.
