    propane generator

    My place has an Onan 7.5KW generator that runs on propane. I have two fuel tanks, 1 - 500gal. and 1 - 1000 gal. Which really only hold 80% of that total. This gives me 2 years worth of fuel, plus. That way, I can wait for a year with lower prices. My rental fee is free on one tank, and $90...

    Kitchen Queen cook stove creosote flow!

    The stove gets up to 500 degrees at 6" up the pipe from stove top. It stays around that temp for about 1/2 hour each day. The stove is large cookstove at just under 4' wide by 2' deep. The official ash cleanout is under the firebox. The troublesome one is behind and under the oven. The...

    Suggestions on buying a new gas range needed

    I've cook with gas for the last 41 years, when I first cooked for a wilderness school/ outfitter. I like pilot lights on my stoves. On one ranch, the owner bought me a new cookstove. It had electronic ignition. One can't manually light the oven, during power outtages. During branding feeds...

    Kitchen Queen cook stove creosote flow!

    Does anyone out there have problems with massive flow of creosote at the rear right side cleanout, behind the oven? If so, how have you dealt with it. I have been given the suggestion to freeze it, then chip out, by a welder friend. I don't understand why it has gotten so bad. The stove is...

    what kind of scrap bucket do you have?

    I've got an old enamel bucket with a lid, about a gallon size, that a client of mine had in her antique store. Easily cleaned after gunked up. Got it for a buck. It doesn't look ratty like the other combinations used the past 30 years, and holds in the stink.

    warring with the dear...

    Hey ... this summer I built a corral for my garden, since the elk and deer have now found it. I set 10' posts with sheep tight around the lower portion, then a couple of rails, and topped it with poly fencing for deer. It worked great, and I can take it down for the winter. Much cheaper and...

    Looking for a simple bread sponge.

    Tried making sponge based bread, but not pleased with the result. I've made bread all my life, but just my grandma's dump method. Soaking grains, then adding raised yeast, flour and molasses. My son's housemate made a wonderful sponge bread, letting it sit all day, before making a firm loaf...

    N.E. Oregon off-grider joining up

    Hello from the one dependent on a generator for sunlight backup. I live with a 24 panel, 8 battery, 24 volt with auto generator system. It isn't nearly enough panels or storage for this grey sky country, but propane is cheaper than more upgrading at this time. The well is 650' deep, pumping...
