LP gas

Compressed cooking fuel

LP gas is liquefied petroleum gas—fuel gases like propane and butane compressed into liquid form for storage and transport.

It powers grills, camping stoves, rural home heating, and some vehicles.

The liquid vaporizes when released, burning cleanly with high heat output: We need to refill the LP gas tank before the cookout.
