Default Natual gas vs propane, which is hotter

In article t, "tom" wrote:

This has nothing to do with which is hotter but rather a potential safety
issue. In 2000 we had the flexible connection line fail on our propane GG
and turned the tank into a huge blow torch that proceeded to burn off the
back of the house because there was no way to extinguish the propane tank
till it burned itself empty. That wouldn't of happened had I had a gas shut
off as I do now with our natural gas grill. That's why I'll never own a
propane grill again.


Wow.

That wasn't an issue for us. Since the house was heated with LP, I just
installed a line out on to the deck, and ran the grill off the house supply. I
had a shutoff right where the line exited the house (15' away from the grill),
another shutoff inside the house, and of course a main shutoff at the tank.
