Natual gas vs propane, which is hotter

If the "blow torch" installation is anything like mine...that flexible tube is only about 2 or 3 ft long. I don't think I'd be getting within 2 or 3 ft of a blazing propane tube........ cheers Bob- I use a turkey fryer to boil corn in the summer and I've had it go into blow-torch mode at the air mixture thingy. After the first time that happened I make sure that that orifice is pointed away from the tank. Cam

no. i just use them and don't break the flex lines.

I don't have the spec handy, but my gas fireplace rating is lower with LP than NG as well. How strange. Maybe the pressure is lower with LP gas? the pressure is 2-3 times higher than NG Bob Pietrangelo (home) (work) www.comfort-solution.biz

It's a fact that LP is almost double the BTU content of NG per cubic foot. Reducing the orifice size for an LP fueled burner would bring the burner down to the same heat output. Why would a manufacturer bring it even lower?

Reducing the orifice size for an LP fueled burner would bring the burner down to the same heat output. Why would a manufacturer bring it even lower? I don't have a clue, but most gas ranges for propane are rated lower than NG by about 1000 Btu per burner. There may be other factors at work, such as getting the proper gas - air mix in the burner or restrictions of the venturi. In the case of grills, the primary fuel source is propane while in ranges, the primary source is NG and in both cases thee is a conversion kit that uses much of the same mechanical components.
