Light Propane Appliances After The Propane Is Shut Off

Propane tanks come in many colors, shapes and sizes.


Propane is a wonder of modern energy. It is cleaner burning than coal and comes in a gaseous form. Propane is used for cooking with ovens, stoves and grills and can also be used to heat your home and for any other device that burns propane as an energy source. Use of propane-powered devices is generally simple and most modern devices are all but self lit. A bit of human button-pressing and you are on your way to a warm home or a cooked steak in no time. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Turn the propane tank back on at the valve by turning the handle to the left if it has been shut off. If the propane tank is empty, you will need to take it to get filled. Local hardware stores or supermarket chains can help with such a task.


2. Attach a new propane tank to the appliance you wish to power. Most modern propane tanks can be attached by hand. Some older or different models may require you to use a wrench to tighten the connection.


3. Turn the tank on by turning the handle on the valve to left until you hear and feel a steady stream of propane flowing from the tank to the appliance.


4. Move from the tank to the appliance you wish to light and follow any lighting instructions the appliance has. Most heaters, grills, ovens, stoves and other appliances have buttons you can push to produce a spark that will light the propane. If there is not a button to push, consult operation and safety literature for the appliance and perform a manual lighting with a match or lighter.
