Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation? (lemmy.world)

The gas doesn't smell, it's an odorant added to make leaks identifiable.

If you're smelling it that much you need to ignite it faster, you shouldn't be letting gas flow for more than a second before igniting it.

Burning an overly rich fuel mixture will definately smell differently than the intended mixture. Which is probably the smell they are talking about. Best i can describe it is a sooty smell
