Dammitt
« on: January 08, 2018, 07:45:55 AM »
Talked to a guy this morning who knows where there are 3   1000 gallon propane tanks that are going to get cut up for scrap.

Got me thinking of buying them and installing solar on garage roof ( in sun most of year) and heating 3000 gallons hotwater throughout the summer.

I need to stop running into people.

Awesome! Thats a huge BTU store. You can hook your wood boiler into them during the winter and do one long burn every couple days instead of messing with the stove twice a day.

Those things are a dime a dozen around here. In the '90's when hogs were selling for $8 per hundred, the hog farmers shut down operations and let facilities rot. LP tanks are everywhere.

Never stopped me before, but, 500 sqft of solar panels might get her attention pretty quick.
