Did you consider turning off the tank valve whilst this alleged broken
line
burnt your house?

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.



The 20 lb. tank that caught fire also had a shut-off but with it spewing an
8 ft flame neither myself or the firemen were able to approach it to turn it
off.
