Natesgirl, I wish I had that as an option! Smells better than propane! Although, if I can do this inside, I have A/C for those 100+ degree days/weeks!
Be the change... |

Propane can be stinky. I learned about that when i lived in the old farmhouse on our property. It can leave an oily residue on everything too. What I found out was this only happens if the appliance ( Stove, HVAC unit etc) is not burning the propane efficiently. We had to have our HVAC unit adjusted and cleaned to solve the problem. After that it was fine. No smell and better yet no residue. That was a mess. All the walls and ceilings had to be scrubbed before we could paint. Just nasty!
Angela that sounds like a perfect setup. We have enough blow down wood around here to can all summer! Wish I could send it to you. Looks like our fire pit will get a lot of use this fall.

Yeah, I wish I could get something better to can on outside but all I have is this propane turkey burner. I will be making a shield so I can maximize the propane use and shield it so it can be constant, although wind usually isn't a problem in the summer/fall. Mainly that is a winter/spring problem, but you never know! I am considering making myself a complete outdoor "kitchen" next to my garden (we have a perfect place for it where we used to store wood, it's open on 3 sides!) and I mean it is only a few feet from my garden! I could do everything outside and not bring any mess into my non air conditioned home! I'm so glad other ladies do this outside too! Great topic Nancy! Thanks for posting!

Connie, I think they were talking about those open propane burners, not contained stoves. I am so glad that yours will be ok!! Whew. I have figured out, when in question, call the extension office! They don't know everything, but they can steer you in the right direction.

Mary Beth- I don't use them near as much as I should. That will change once the farm gets back up and running for sure. Starting with soil testing!
