When most people think of propane, they picture cold winter nights and a warm house. But if you live on Massachusetts’ South Shore, you already know that propane does a whole lot more than keep you cozy. From backyard grills to heated pools to July 4th cookouts, propane is the fuel behind some of the best parts of summer.
June also happens to be Propane Safety Month, so it’s the perfect time to talk about how to enjoy all that propane has to offer while keeping your family safe.
Propane Fuels More Than You Think
Propane gas isn’t just for heating. It’s a versatile fuel that can power a wide range of outdoor amenities, making your backyard the place to be all summer long. Here are just a few ways propane can level up your warm-weather plans:
- Grills and outdoor kitchens
- Pool and spa heaters
- Fire pits and patio heaters
Whether you’re hosting a big bash or just enjoying a quiet evening on the patio, propane makes it all possible.

Skip the Cylinder Hassle with a Direct Gas Line
If you already have a propane tank for home heating, there’s no reason to keep lugging small cylinders back and forth for your grill or fire pit. Pilgrim Propane can run gas lines from your existing propane supply directly to your outdoor appliances. That means no more last-minute runs to swap out a tank, no more wondering if you have enough fuel for the party, and no more storing extra cylinders.

Let Automatic Delivery Handle the Rest
For whole-home propane customers, automatic delivery takes the hassle out of fuel management. We monitor your usage patterns and weather conditions to schedule deliveries before you run low. Pair that with a tank monitor, and you’ve got a system that keeps your home and your outdoor setup fueled without you lifting a finger.
Whether you’re heating the house in January or firing up the grill in July, automatic delivery means one less thing on your to-do list.
Stay Safe This Propane Safety Month
June is Propane Safety Month, and it’s a great reminder to brush up on a few basics, especially as outdoor propane use picks up:
- Transporting cylinders: Always keep propane cylinders upright and secured in a well-ventilated area of your vehicle, like an open truck bed. Never leave a cylinder in a hot, enclosed car.
- Check for leaks: Before connecting a cylinder to your grill, check hoses and connections for cracks or damage. A simple soap-and-water solution can help you spot leaks.
- Store cylinders outdoors: Never store propane cylinders indoors or in enclosed spaces like garages or basements.
- Keep grills at a safe distance: Place your grill at least 5 feet away from structures.
- Know the smell: Propane has a distinct rotten-egg odor added to it. If you ever smell it, move away from the area and call us or 911.
