>>And I have seen the aftermath of a gas leak explosion and they are incredibly bad.

2nd that. We had one near my house when I was in the 6th grade. Completely leveled 2 largish suburban houses (say 2000 SF +/-). Our house was about 1/3 mile away, and insulation “came out of the sky like snow” according to my mom and a neighbor lady. 3-4 people died.

If the log cabin had a basement and propane, propane is heavier than air. Basement could have filled with vapor from a leak until it encountered an ignition source, and then KABLAM!

That was my thinking.

It had a basement according to reports, and it did use propane.
