BBQ Tips and Recipes For Springtime

Springtime is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to start firing up your grill. The grilling experts at Modern Propane have compiled this list of need to know tips for barbecuing.

•          Make sure your grill is clean. A dirty grill will lead to flair ups, unnecessary smoke and can add bad flavors to your food. This includes cleaning the food that has fallen into the grill, and grease deposits at the bottom. Taking the grates out and burner covers off will help you give your grill a thorough cleaning. You will definitely notice a difference.
•          Remember that sugar burns at 265 degrees F. That is why when you are cooking foods with a sugary sauce or rub, to slowly cook them at a low temperature. If you cook them quickly it’ll cause them to burn and blacken prematurely.
•          Use the correct temperature. Just because a grill has a max setting, doesn’t mean you have to use it. Thin cuts of pork and beef, including patties, should be cooked at high temperatures and quickly. This helps seal in the juices. Fish, chicken and vegetables should be grilled at a medium temperature. Any large cuts of meat, or whole poultry, should be cooked on a low temperature. Minding the temperature, and being patient, will improve the overall quality of the meal you are preparing.

If you are not sure what you are cooking, or looking for some ideas, we have found several places to find great BBQ recipes. This honeymustard grilled chicken recipe is a great meal with minimal preparation and takes about 35 minutes. These grilled scallops will be sure to please any seafood lover. These sweet and sour pork kabobs are delicious and ready in 25 minutes.

Here at Modern Propane, we take grilling seriously and want you all to enjoy your time at the grill. If you are looking for propane and propane accessories, contact Modern Propane today.

Propane Heater Safety Tips

There are many places that you may need the warmth of a propane space heater. They are perfect for camping in the winter in an area that may not allow you to build a fire. Working in your garage or shed through the winter months can be a daunting task without a space heater keeping your feet warm. Wherever you are using a propane space heater, it is important to remember these safety tips.

• If you are going to use a propane heater indoors, make sure that it is manufactured for indoor use. These consume less propane than outdoor space heaters and therefore produce less carbon monoxide.
• If you are using a propane space heater in any enclosed area, even with a door or window open, make sure to have a fully functional carbon monoxide detector. These detectors are designed to alert you to the presence before you start feeling any adverse affects.
• Remember to keep all objects three feet from the heat to prevent any nearby objects from igniting. This is especially true for any curtain, chairs and fabrics.
• Always make sure that the propane heater is on a flat level surface so that there is no danger of it being knocked over.
• When buying fuel for your heater, check the heater's operating manual for the specific fuel type and cylinder size. Never use a fuel that your heater wasn't designed to use.

The experts at Modern Propane want you and your family to stay safe whenever using a propane space heater this winter. If you think that your propane space heater in NJ is out of date or would like a more efficient one, visit our store. Modern Propane stocks a wide variety of propane space heaters in NJ.

Propane Heat Benefits Homeowners

Propane, otherwise known as liquefied petroleum gas, is a domestically-produced fossil fuel that benefits both homeowners and the environment when used. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, propane is a well-established and clean-burning fuel, which can be used to heat homes.

People can use propane fireplaces and propane space heaters as two methods of heating their homes. Both methods are safe, good for the environment and each has their own benefits when used.

The benefits of propane fireplaces outweigh those of a regular fireplace. Propane fireplaces can evenly heat homes and do so in an efficient manner. Propane fireplaces do not produce the same amount of emissions that regular fireplaces do, and they are much cleaner as well because they do not produce ash or soot. These fireplaces are also maintenance-free, do not require electricity and can burn for much longer than a regular fireplace.

Similar to propane fireplaces, propane space heaters also have many benefits that make them a strong alternative to regular heating systems. Propane space heaters can heat spaces of almost any size, are simple to use and are dependable heating systems. They can heat a room quickly and are portable, which is an added benefit.

Propane space heaters can also be used in conjunction with a regular heating system. Homeowners can turn down their thermostats and only heat certain rooms with a regular heating system, and heat the rest with propane space heaters. They can be used in rooms that are not used at often, saving homeowners more money.

No matter which method homeowners choose to provide heat in their homes, they are choosing a more cost-effective solution when it comes to using propane. Propane heating will lower heating bills for homeowners no matter what.

Modern Propane is a company that provides propane products for homeowners to use as energy-efficient heating solutions. Online, Modern Propane has a NJ propane and a propane space heater catalog for homeowners to browse to choose the best heating option for their homes.

Propane Refills and Gas Fireplaces Provide Convenience for Homeowners

Gas fireplaces are a solution for people who want to enjoy the ambiance and heat a fireplace provides, but do not want to deal with firewood or cleaning up the ashes.

Over the next few days, New Jersey residents will be experiencing a lot of snow and cold winter temperatures. Residents should prepare for this weather by ensuring their homes will be warm enough to keep them comfortable throughout the next week and the rest of the winter.

Fireplaces that run on propane gas are one way people have started heating their homes. Rather than always having to stock firewood, gas fireplaces are fueled with propane, and whenever the supply runs out, homeowners can invest in propane refill.

These types of fireplaces are convenient, efficient and easy to use. They turn on and off with a control knob, do not emit the smell that is associated with traditional fireplaces and they are cleaner than traditional fireplaces.

In addition to these benefits, certain types of these fireplaces can also be installed anywhere in a home because they do not require a chimney. These types of fireplaces are vent-free, taking the heat supply from a gas line hooked up to a propane tank. Because they use gas to operate, gas fireplaces ignite and produce fires very quickly.

To set up these fireplaces, a propane tank should be ordered, and when the tank runs out, homeowners can easily get a propane refill. The propane tank can be hooked up to a hose and regulator to fuel the fire, meaning that homeowners will never have to rely on a natural gas supplier for the operation and maintenance of their fireplaces.

For this reason, fireplaces that operate on gas save homeowners a lot of money – proving to be a great investment. If homeowners ever have a problem with their fireplace, their propane supplier should be contacted for repairs.

For homeowners who are searching for a propane supplier, Modern Propane is a New Jersey company that provides propane refills for gas fireplaces. The tanks Modern Propane supplies come in a variety of sizes to suit both traditional and modern styles of fireplaces.
