Or was it even above ground at all? I don't know. I do doubt, however, that Random Joe Cop was in charge of the entire operation and happened to be near an open mic when he decided to burn down the cabin two hours before it happened.

Had that tank ignited, it would've created a fireball you could see from the damn moon.
The propane tank didn't ignite and it's extremely unlikely that any propane that may have come from a leak ignited either.
I don't know why you're digging your heels in here - you cited a lousy example to debunk a conspiracy theory and now you're defending it to the last. Again - the most likely scenario is that an inert object caught on fire.
Your scenario, OTOH, is only slightly less likely than one where Dorner dragged in a dead body and set it on fire himself in order to distract police. Though given that you had this guy as Rambo's black cousin 3 days ago, you may not see that as terribly unlikely.
