Be very mindful of all that is going on when you install LP or "bottled gas" in your home. To start with the tank has to be buried. When the line is run from the tank to the house that line should be pressure tested. One of the properties of bottled gas is that it is heavier than air and should it escape in close spaces it will collect at floor level. You want to make sure with a pressure test that the line is leak free. When you get your new gas appliance make sure the regulator (on the appliance) is designed for bottled gas (as compared to natural gas). And, using bottled gas in cooking... it generally creates a hotter flame as compared to natural gas. Very easy to unintentionly burn food.
