Hi all,

If you use those large white exchangeable propane cylinders, here's a
new hazard to be aware of:

Brass (or most any alloy containing copper) and ammonia don't play well
together...

In my opinion, not a problem that you are actually likely to
encounter, unless you are buying a used tank from some sleazebag drug
dealer on a street corner.

I agree its unlikely to actually get a damaged tank, but there's
probably more meth cooking in your area (in any area) than you might
think.

Old news and not likely to happen.
