An update on the propane situation at the cabin...
As you know I decided, much to the laughter of some folks, to attempt to run our full size gas range on 20# propane tanks, using a RV style switchable manifold. Well this arrangement has worked out very well. We have been up at the cabin cooking almost 3 days a week on average including Mrs. Irish making extra soups, stews and meals to package and can for her Mom to eat during the week and for us to have extra for lunches. So a lot of cooking going on at the cabin. We installed the stove and the gas in late March and just a couple of weeks ago finally used our 1st bottle of propane and had to switch over to a new one. That was a lot of cooking for $14.92 a refill at the Walmart in Ft. Payne.
I took that empty bottle and 2 other spares I had at the house and had those refilled, so now I always have full extra bottles.
There’s a ton of “experts” on here who don’t mind providing their critical opinions... funny how real life results differ from our resident experts opinions. Glad the propane decision worked out well for y’all!
And keep posting your updates - I’ve really enjoyed reading them.
Well... I agree, but I wasn't actually referring to anyone in particular on here, mainly my brother and some friends who all thought I was crazy for trying to run a high end style gas stove off of a 20# propane tank. But I did my research and apparently in places like Costa Rica, the BVI, Jamaica, etc... Where rich folks have vacation homes and Viking stoves and there is no natural gas infrastructure and no propane trucks, the 20# bottles is all they have, so it's quite common everywhere but the US.
