Ka-blam! The vapor from one-and-a-half ounces of gas has the explosive power of a stick of dynamite! Also, toxins from burning gasoline may poison your food. Form the briquettes into a pyramid and douse with starter fluid. Wait until the fluid has soaked in before lighting.

Correct! Never use gasoline. One-and-a-half ounces of vaporized gasoline has the explosive power of a stick of dynamite! Also, toxins from burning gasoline may poison your food.

Wrong answer. Ever see someone who's had a can of fuel explode in their hands? Fanning the flames is the best answer.

If you're near a source of electricity, use a hair dryer to get a stubborn fire going. Turn the dryer's setting to no heat and direct the air stream at the still-smoldering briquettes. Within a few minutes, you'll have a great bed of coals.

Wrong! During the summer, temperatures inside a car trunk can exceed 120 degrees -- hot enough to burst a propane tank. Do not store propane cylinders in any closed, unventilated space. A leaking tank can fill the area with gas and a single spark can turn a closet, trunk, or shed into a bomb.

Propane tanks should be stored outdoors, away from buildings. If neighborhood "sticky fingers" are a problem, chain the tank(s) to a tree using a bicycle lock.

Not a good idea. Propane is heaver than air. Gas from a leaking tank will settle at ground level and could fill the basement with enough vapors to turn your home into a bomb. Furnaces and hot-water heaters are ignition sources.

Propane tanks should be stored outdoors, away from buildings. If neighborhood "sticky fingers" are a problem, chain the tank(s) to a tree using a bicycle lock.

No. Spaces beneath decks are popular (but not very safe) storage areas. Leaves, dry grass, and other combustible materials can collect around tanks and a single smoldering match dropped between the boards could set the whole mess ablaze.

Correct! The safest place to keep a propane tank is outdoors and away from buildings. If neighborhood "sticky fingers" are a problem, chain the tank(s) to a tree using a bicycle lock.

Correct! All gas cylinders should be re-tested every 10 years. You can tell how old your cylinder is by looking at the date stamped on the collar. To get your cylinder tested, refer to the "Gas Cylinder Testing" section of the Yellow Pages. Inspect the gas cylinders for damage every time you fill the tank. Discontinue use if it appears rusty or damaged.
