With proper installation, propane is no different than natural gas with regards to safety when operating a hearth appliance. Propane gas is heavier than natural gas, so match lit systems without a safety pilot would not be available with liquid propane as they are with natural gas. With all propane systems, pilot flame loss will result in gas flow being shut off through the valve. The safety concerns would be the same with either fuel type, but are eliminated with proper installation and maintenance.
