In our sustainable home setup, we’ve designed a reliable and efficient propane system using two 100 lb tanks and two 20 lb tanks, all connected to power essential appliances like the kitchen stove and fireplace. This system allows us to run both cooking and heating systems smoothly without relying on the electrical grid, ensuring that we maintain comfort and independence in any situation.

Why This Setup Works:

• Easily Removable Tanks: We’ve chosen to use easily removable tanks for flexibility and convenience. This design allows for quick and simple tank replacements without complicated procedures, making it ideal for homes that value both efficiency and ease of use.
• Automatic Switching Valves: To ensure that propane supply remains uninterrupted, we’ve integrated automatic valves that seamlessly switch to the next tank when one runs empty. This system provides peace of mind, as you never have to manually switch tanks or worry about running out of propane unexpectedly.

Building the Base:

• Instead of pouring a traditional concrete slab, we’ve opted to create a solid, eco-friendly foundation for the propane tanks using rock and rock glue. This approach:

This setup not only makes it easy to replace and maintain propane tanks, but it also promotes self-sufficiency by minimizing reliance on traditional infrastructure. Whether it’s heating your home with a cozy fireplace or cooking a meal, this system is designed for ease, efficiency, and sustainability.
