For years, we didn't use any propane here. Had electric, oil, and wood kitchen stoves, and electric and wood hot water. But after many power outages and thinking about installing solar-electric, I put in some propane. Propane hot-water heater (bought two for $75 each), and a propane kitchen stove (paid $50). Then, I also installed three non-hard-vented propane heaters. Those heaters are amazing! I originally bought them for emergency heat-backup that requires no electricity. But since them, we use them for heating small areas of the house. We have a 28K BTU infra-red unit next to where we sit when watching TV. Also have a 7K BTU unit in the bathroom. Heaters are made by Procom and I find them to be amazing bargains. Now, when it's in the 30s F outside and not cold enough to run the big wood-furnace, we use the oil-furnace set at 55F, and use the propane heaters in areas where we hang out.

Main thing I found around here is this. Propane companies charge different prices depending on how many gallons that actually sell you, per delivery. So, if you bought your own big tank, and only had them come to fill it when near empty, you ought to be able to get the lowest rate. That's why we bought our own big submarine-shaped tank.

I checked around here in NY yesterday. Price was $2.50 per gallon for lowest rate (customers with big tanks and/or high useage). For others propane is $2.75 to $3 per gallon.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
