If you read the gov regs for propane it states they must add a smell but it is up to each state what smell they add.
The Kentucky propane did NOT smell ANYTHING like what I had been accustom to up North. Smelled like a stinky holding tank.
Damn near killed both me and the dogs while I sat there waiting for repair. Thank god I opened all the windows and didn't light up a cigarette.:(
