My great grandpa at his 260 acre ranch had propane tank used for hot water and stove. Had a fireplace and would only heat the room he was in. Also had some portable heaters, electric blanket, long underwear! Would wear gloves and a cap to bed to keep body warmth.

When we built our new house after Hurricane Harvey, we wanted a propane range. We installed a 150 gallon tank and filled it.(89% full, max allowed) It's been over two years and we have only used about 60% of it. The range is the only thing connected. In our old house (110 year old farmhouse) we also had propane central heat. We had a 500 gallon (still got it) tank and we had to fill it 2-3 times a year.

Propane is the way to go for sure.

Don! After watching this video I decided to go all solar and not bother with propane. The reason is that propane has to be delivered to you and so I would feel that I wouldn't be completely "off grid" if I depend on propane delivery. What's funny is the propane refrigerator, who would have thought that you could use HEAT to cool a refrigerator???

@affordabledesertliving3487

Hi Panda. Keep in mind if you dont use propane then stoves, hot water heaters etc are going to have to be from your solar electric system. Those items are very large draws. So that is why I went to propane. It would have cost several thousand more to get set up with solar that could handle everything. But its always a matter of choices. Hope this helped. Your welcome to contact me at affordabledesertliving@gmail.com for additional info if its helpful. Cheers and as always thanks for your faithful watching of my videos!

Fun show Don! Propane is a great gas. We use an underground tank on our place in the high desert of Northern Arizona. You can achieve a similarly fire resistant installation by erecting a wall or bern a few feet here ghee than the tank to block infrared radiation if you have a brush fire. The low brush in your area can be very dangerous in a wildfire. Most problems with propane tanks in a fire are caused by the heat (infrared light) and not by a close by flame itself. When heated, the tank will eventually vent propane which will eventually ignite making your very own large scale blowtorch! We want to echo warnings about Javalina - they are unpredictable and can be vicious . Good luck!

Okay Karen and Bob! Great to hear from you!

Have been living off grid in AZ desert for 18 years. Unless you are going to have 5000 watts solar and a 20KW battery bank the mini splits are not going to give you full time heating or cooling you want. Even the best use way too much power, unless you are just cooling a well insulated small space. Don't use the Little Buddy heater indoors, it causes really bad indoor air quality (high CO2 up to 5000ppm). Check out the Housewarmer VENTED propane heater at Northern Tools. That is what I have used for past 15 years. For Summer cooling evaporative coolers are the only real choice. For a good on demand propane water heater check out PrecisionTemp (high quality, but expensive) or Girard. And if you don't bake with oven, or use 4 burners just get a simple propane camping 2 burner set up.

@affordabledesertliving3487

Hi wizard1955. I hope to have 4500 watts of power. My little cottage is just that. EXTREMELY well insulated. If you check out my list of videos you will see it being insulated. Its only 200 sq ft also which is pretty small. My Big Buddy Heater has a CO2 detector right nearby but I also have my window open as a precaution. Sounds like the Housewarmer has been a good one for you. Way to go. Great tip for on demand hot water heater. Thanks.

You live in the desert. Why not use a Solar Parabolic Reflector trough to heat water. The concept is to build an underground tank that can hold water and rocks. You pass vegetable oil through the solar collector and pump it through tubes that circle around inside the underground tank. The water heats up and thus heats up the rocks which will hold a lot of heat for a long time. You then run the water you want to use for your shower through a coiled pipe in the underground tank and pump it to your faucet/shower. The piping systems are separated. Basically you are building a Heat Battery. With enough rock mass, you could heat your cabin all night. I would run another system of tubing/pipes that also contains vegetable oil that you can pump through a cars heater radiator inside your cabin using the 12v radiator fans to create and circulate warm in your cabin.

At 00:39 I could see a huge hole in the insulation where your propane line goes up through the floor. You need to close that hole in with a can of spray foam from the hardware store or rodents and bugs will just crawl right up that line and into your place.

Yep it makes sense when it comes to big appliances like hot water heaters and stoves.

Well at least you got some exercise in.

Definitely.

Propane generator would work well for your situation and serve as back up to your future solar installation. Just a thought.

Yep. Over and over again.

As I run a tankless water heater I would get a medium unit as main and get a small version as a preheater. Summer u wont need hot water to shower. Water here is pee warm in summer on straight cold. You can paint the tank tan if u want it to blend in.

Yep right now no hot water needed thats for sure. I wasnt clear on how it works with a small version as a pre-heater. Sounds great I am just trying to wrap my head around how its all connected. Thanks for watching Bubba!
