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.

Very nice Mengano..
I LIKE it when you make a positive comment!!!! Keep 'em coming!!! Quote: | Originally posted by Mengano
Just a little bit of trivia. Propane and butane are commonly used as the aerosol propellants in spray cans. They are even used in spray cans of food
products, like PAM. Although they are very flammable gases, they are non-toxic and not considered greenhouse gases. |

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.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

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.

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.

which means
The fat ladys are breeding

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.
