Creative Uses For Propane Beyond Heating & Cooking

A look at the fuel’s many uses

When some of us think of propane we often times associate the fuel with cooking that takes place outdoors on a grill or with home heating systems. While propane is indeed very often used to power and fuel a grill and heat both houses and commercial spaces, its uses go far beyond just heating and cooking purposes. In fact, one of the benefits of propane is that it is so incredibly versatile and can be used for a long list of things.

Ways to use propane

So what does that long list of things that propane can power and fuel include? Let’s take a closer look at what propane can do on top of being used for cooking (both indoor and outdoor cooking) and heating.

• Power and fuel backup generators: In the event of a blackout, many home and business owners rely on backup generators to provide the power they need to stay warm, continue cooking and keep their businesses up and running.
• Add ambiance to an outdoor space: Propane can add a lot to an outdoor living space. In addition to powering a grill, the fuel can also be used for outdoor lighting, fire pits and hearths and patio heaters. Plus you can also use propane for mosquito traps which helps keep everyone comfortable while they’re spending time outside!
• Heat pools and spas: If you have a pool or spa on your property you can use propane to heat the water to your desired temperature.
• Heat water: In addition to heating a home or commercial space, propane can also be used to heat the water you use for washing dishes, showering and drying clothes in a clothes dryer.
• Heat greenhouses: Greenhouse heaters that are powered by propane can help create optimal growing conditions for your plant life.
• Power gardening tools: Leaf blowers, lawn mowers and lawn trimmers can all be fueled by propane. When powered by propane, this type of equipment usually makes less noise and is better for the environment than the electric or standard gasoline powered options.
• Power clothes dryers: Yes, propane can be used to warm the water clothes dryers use. On top of that, there are also propane-powered clothes dryers. These dryers are typically more efficient than their electric counterparts. They help get your clothes dried faster, which ends up saving you money on utility costs.
