Keep hearing about propane being so explosive. Guess a lot of you have not been through one of those fire department presentations on safety. In this presentation, they show exactly how safe propane is. Unless you have just the right mix of propane and air, there is no KABOOM and even then, a KABOOM will not happen unless the gas is contained. That means that if you have to much or to little air, nothing happens with propane. As stated in one of the other posts, the gas you put in your tank is far more explosive.
