"What's wrong with Kerosene? It's odorless, "
No, it is not. Even the best "water white odorless" kerosene has a distinctive and sickening odor--to many people. Other folks seem unable to smell it, and I would bet there's a genetic difference akin to the way some folks have innately different taste abilities.
Kerosene, also known as "paraffin oil" outside the US, has been replaced in the mass market because many people think it is oily (can leave a mess) burns dirty (soot) and leaves an odor.
Yes, propane can blow up. And does blow up, at least a dozen homes and businesses blow up from propane or natural gas explosions in the US alone every year. If you want real safety, learn to eat cold food. Fire is dangerous. Fuels are dangerous.
But used in moderation...many of us prefer to be with them, despite the dangers. Particularly the "new" clean fuels, like propane, that can be used without any mess or odor.
Got a kerosene stove at home? Why not? [vbg]
