I've never owned a propane stove before. When I use the top burners there isn't any smell. But when I use the stove there is a faint but distinct smell of propane.
Is this normal? No smell when not using it or anything. |

I get it at start-up, but it goes away.
Propane will begin to emit full-time smell when pressure is low. The oven also has burners- are they clean? Should be fairly easy to access by removing bottom pan of oven. You also can take a look by removing the bottom drawer and looking up at burner. Might also have a (I think it's called ) diverter valve going out |

Mix soap and water so that you can make bubbles. Spray or dab soap and water solution on all connections.
Wherever you have bubbles, you have a leak. ETA Propane is heavier than air. Vent by opening doors to the exterior if you smell propane. It will accumulate in low lying areas. |
