IS THE PRICE OF PROPANE POISED TO CLIMB
OR SKYROCKET?
When the United States entered the world propane market as an exporter, a few predicted that the price of propane would be set in the world market, not, as in the past, just here at home. A world market price for propane will always be higher than our own home price. This means higher prices are coming. The first signs of world market pricing are starting to emerge snce major export terminals have opened because most of the propane production here has been loaded onto huge ships that take it overseas, mostly to China. This means that there is less here at home. Less propane means that our supply is tighening, and our supply at home depends on demand and producction abroad. So the price of your gallon of propane will not follow the price of oil, as it has in the past, but set by world events, just like oil. Major propane producers are located around the world, some in places where there are frequent changes in government and frequent economic melt-downs, all of make supply unstable. Unstable supply means unstable price. What does this mean for you? Prices will climb with tighening supply here at home, or they could skyrocket if a major producer drops out, even for a short time.
Be prepared for the new world: fill up while prices are still low, the lowest they have been in years. Fill up your tank with Thrifty Propane - the best price, the best propane and the best service.

FASNY offers lifesaving BBQ, grilling tips for holiday weekend
NEW YORK - With Memorial Day weekend swiftly approaching, families and friends will be gathering to
celebrate the unofficial start of summer, and many will be dusting off and firing up their grills for the first time in months.
The Firemen's Association of the State of New York urges all New Yorkers to follow some basic rules and tips to avoid accidents and injuries, and to remember to call for help if needed.
"Memorial Day is a time for reflection and commemoration," said Firemen's Association of the State of New York
President Robert McConville. "We urge all New Yorkers to heed some basic barbecuing and grilling safety tips to
minimize the potential for accidents during the holiday weekend. We hope that everybody has a happy,
safe start to the summer."
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), there are an average of 8,900 home fires
caused by grilling, with the peak months being May, June, July, and August. The leading causes of grill fires
included a failure to clean, having the grill too close to something flammable, and leaving the grill unattended.
In 2014, 16,600 patients were sent to the emergency room after being injured by a grill.
Watch the interview above for information from Utica Fire Chief Russell Brooks.
FASNY offers the following safety tips to avoid accidents:
BEFORE BARBECUING:
- Check your grill thoroughly for leaks, cracking or brittleness before using it.
- Check the tubes leading to the burner regularly for blockages. Check your specific grill manufacturer's
- instructions.
- Make sure the grill is at least 10 feet away from your house, garage or trees.
- Store and use your grill on a large flat surface that cannot burn (i.e. - concrete or asphalt).
- Don't use grills in a garage, on a porch, deck or on top of anything that can catch fire.
- Never use a propane barbecue grill on a balcony, terrace or roof: it is both dangerous and illegal.
- Keep children away from fires and grills. It is a good idea to establish a safety zone around the
- grill and monitor children to remain outside the zone.
- Before getting a propane cylinder filled, check for any damages to it.
- Never transport or store propane cylinders in the trunk of your automobile.
DURING BARBECUING:
- Keep children away from the grill.
- Don't wear loose clothing that might catch fire.
- Use long-handled barbecue tools and/or flame-resistant mitts.
- Never use any flammable liquid other than a barbecue starter fluid to start/freshen a fire.
- Never pour or squirt starter fluid onto an open flame. The flames can easily flash back along the fluid's path, to the container in your hands.
- Keep alcoholic beverages away from the grill; they are flammable.
- Never leave the grill unattended.
BARBECUE SAFELY:
- When lighting your propane barbecue, make sure all the connections are secure and open the lid
- and strike your match or lighter before turning on the gas.
- Always shut off the propane fuel at the grill and at the bottle after you have finished barbecuing.
- Otherwise, this will lead to fire hazards, such as leaks and faulty regulators.
- Store your BBQ grill and propane cylinder outdoors.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the safe use, cleaning and maintenance of your grill.
- Test your cylinder for leaks on a regular basis. When testing for leaks, never use matches or an
- open flame. Use soapy water or a leak detector.
- Store your cylinder away from heat and insert a safety plug on the valve.
AFTER BARBECUING:
- Always follow the manufacturer's cleaning and storing instructions that accompany the grill.
- Keep your grill clean and free of grease buildup that may lead to a fire.
- Never store liquid or pressurized fuels inside your home and/or near any possible sources of flame.
IN CASE OF A BARBECUE FIRE:
- For PROPANE grills - turn off the burners. For CHARCOAL grills - close the grill lid. Disconnect the power to ELECTRIC grills.
- For PROPANE grills - if you can safely reach the tank valve, shut it off.
- If the fire involves the tank, leave it alone, evacuate the area and call the fire department.
- If there is any type of fire that either threatens your personal safety or endangers property, ALWAYS call the Fire Department.
- NEVER attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water. It will only cause the flames to flare up. Use an approved portable fire extinguisher.

Tank Schedule Notice
WE CANNOT GIVE YOU A FIRM SET DATE. We can only deliver your tank on a BEST EFFORTS basis. The date we set your new tank depends on the weather, because the ground can be too wet and soft to set the tank, the availability of our crane trucks, the status of our tank supply, which is limited by the shear weight and size of the tanks. These tanks can weigh in excess of 2,000 pounds. Each crane truck can set only two tanks per day. Crane trucks may experience mechanical issues requiring repairs.
Purchasing a pre-buy of propane is not necessary when you purchase a tank, you can obtain propane at any time and from any supplier.
DO remember that if at any time between order and installation, you can request a full refund and we will immediately refund your full purchase price.
DO call for a delivery once your tank is installed, to provide time to ensure that your in-house system is operating properly as well as check for any smell of gas
DON'T send your old tank back until you we have set your tank in your yard, it is fully operational and filled.. NEVER be without a tank.
DON'T take a day off from work: we can install the tank on your property and then Thrifty Propane can turn the tank on after testing when you are home.
