WHY PROPANE?

Technically, propane is a hydrocarbon (C3H8) sometimes referred to as liquefied petroleum gas - LPG or LP-gas. Made in equal parts from natural gas processing and oil refining, propane is a nontoxic, colorless, nearly odorless fuel which is delivered as a pressurized liquid, not unlike the liquid butane you see in transparent disposable lighters. We add a strong identifying odor (similar to rotten eggs) to it to facilitate easy detection, as is done with natural gas.

Most propane is produced right here on the eastern seaboard, which makes the supply lines Dependable. Nutmeg State Propane maintains its own local storage and off-site active supply lines totaling several million gallons - your assurance that regardless of what may happen to other energy supplies, more than enough propane will be around when you need it.
