They are used as solvent, or to cut crude oil that is too "thick" to pump easily out of a well, or down a pipeline.

Both, Mapp and Propane, are used for soldering.


Mapp gas is yellow. propane different.

Those color little containers are the ones in the welding isle.....I believe is what those were. I see them all the time at HD (we go there a lot for the contracting business)

Propane is usually in steel cages...outdoors.

I gas weld and have never seen welding gas sold in HD either in Mexico or the States. Only seen propane brazing kits.

Just purchased Gaz from a mobile truck that cruises our neighborhood. The posted rate for Enero was 5.83 pesos per liter. The basic 5 gallon/20/lb tank holds 18 liters, SAFELY.

At a 13.5/1 exchange rate, that's 7.77 for a fillup.

Four years ago when I last filled in SoCal, I remember getting 3.95/gallon from an Amerigas outlet at a gas station. So, that's about 20 bucks, US.

Propane is a bargain down here. Believe the cost is either subsidized or controlled by the Mex govt.

Better???


I use charcoal or propane.........sometimes I add flavored wood chips for a different taste and sometimes I marinate. Just depends on the type/cut of meat

That's on your side of the border, Woody. Down here, it's propane for everything.

I didn't think they used propane down in Mex for heating..I thought it was natural gas...it sure smells like natural gas...I have been reading that people are using natural gas for barbequeing as well..of course I absolutely love my propane barbeque...much easier than Charcoal...

I don't know what's happening on the mainland, but there's no natural gas in Baja that isn't emitted from a carbon based creature. It's all propane and I believe it all comes from the states in trucks.
The irony is that I can see the Sempra LNG terminal from my house, but it all goes north.

Best BBQ Gas ?


I've read its Hydrogen.

At one time, there was a website for Hydrogen BBQs extolling the virtues and selling the necessary equipment, including fuel production.

Admittedly, not very economical.

or, convenient.

But, the Best.

smoked meat tastes best
use oak wood
not pine
cook in smoker until very well done
simmer in oven for 12 hour minimum over night is better
while in oven meat should be in pan with much bacon (or other ) grease

use this method for best tasting and most tender ribs ( and other meat ).

note
a smoker looks like a large barrel tipped on its side, with a fire box, (place to put burning wood ) on one end, and a chimney on the other end. Good ones have a thermometer so you can keep the temperature between 350 and 375 Fahrenheit.

Flies LOVE getting Gassed


YEAH.

UNBELIEVABLE.

Although I've seen that Phenomena many times since, the FIRST time was years ago when I needed to change out a Valve.

Set the Tank out in an open area (thankfully) and bled it of slowly.

A ZILLION flies showed up from (apparently) Nowhere.

Must be something really good there.

IF you're a Fugly Fly.
