The Propane.pro Weekly Roundup is Here!!

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for another installment of the Propane.pro weekly roundup, looking at the week that was in LPG. The heating season may have ended on the last day of March, but folks in the Midwest didn’t know it. There was plenty of springtime snowfall, sending the national propane inventory on […]

Turn off the Propane Furnace, Edna, the Heating Season is Over

Yesterday was March 31, marking the (unofficial) last day of the heating season. And though it was a fickle winter — epic blizzards, a few propane supply hitches, and a string of new record highs in retail propane prices — we’re sorry to see her go.

Does Propane “Wear the Green”?

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, and New York City is in celebration mode. There is a parade along Fifth Avenue and plenty of NYPD officers are patrolling the streets for shenanigans.

Best Propane Movie? Absolutely.

A group of school buddies (from Wisconsin?) has put together a helpful little video full of propane facts. Sure, the cameraman handles the camera like a maraca.

Which Natural Gas Liquid is That?

From Texas to West Virginia to the New York Stock Exchange, the term “natural gas liquids” has been popping up in recent headlines. These NGLs, which include propane, are a family of chemically-related organic gases, and are part of the haul from the country’s gasfields — or more precisely, the “wet” fields. And what links […]

Propane Quote of the Day: “…and the liquids fall out.”

A geology professor from West Virginia University, Tim Carr, met with the citizenry in the top of the state last week to discuss the on-going developments along the gas-rich Marcellus Shale. Carr focused part of his talk on natural gas liquids (NGLs) — the propane, ethane, and butane — which have been coming up along […]

How Many Gallons Do I Need?

It’s a common question asked by the new propane customer: How much propane am I gonna need? And that answer will guide the calculations about what size tank you should pick out, and budget how much the heating season will cost. Unfortunately, there’s no easy answer to this one. A household’s propane consumption varies with […]

Top 5 Wintertime Propane Tips

This crazy, blizzard-a-week winter has generated plenty of media stories about how to handle all the snow. (Executive summary: Have a stocked pantry. And a flashlight.) And we really like this one from a little paper in upstate New York, The Observer, which talked to the state propane association and tailored the question specifically for […]

Pop Quiz: Test Your Propane IQ

The website for the industry group Propane Education and Resource Council (PERC) has dozens of webpages about the gas. And hands down, the most entertaining one is the propane quiz. Actually, if you visit the site you’ll find two quizzes, one moderate and one difficult. We took both of them, and got an 8/10. (“What residential […]

What’s that Smell? Mercaptan, Propane’s Stinky Sidekick

Over the past month, firefighters near Lancaster, Ohio, have gotten repeated phone calls about a propane leak at a rural crossroads. A nearby propane tank was checked. No leak. A gas line was checked. No leak. But one sharp-nosed firefighter eventually sniffed out the problem, the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette reports this morning. It was radishes rotting in […]
