Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Just called my propane man

LOL point taken, my add on was not helpful! There's no way for the bad orange man to win....

Get your shots.

Exponential.

In it together.

How many 1000 gallons are you all using?

We have 1500 gallons of storage at home and 750 at the shop.

Fill them several times a year.

450-500 gpy, winter heat, house only.

Ouch

$1.79 here just filled the tank at my shop. $1.69 if I get it paid right away.

JEBUS

Will go through close to 2 tanks (~800 gallons) this winter I expect.

Heating a barn more this winter after hanging a propane heater in there last year.

Our old house, we would go through about 350-400 gallons a year. Our tenants have run through almost twice that at times.

Propane is a White Privilege commodity. What’d you expect? Only Crackers and Boomers (Cracker-Boomers?) are affected.

Nothing to see here.

Heating with propane is virtue signaling or racist. Maybe both

“We’re gonna show those deplorable servants!”

I'd be happy as hell if I could pay $2.10 a gallon here. Last year we averaged around $3.69, so we will use our wood stove for heat and to hell with those crooks.

I like the term Cracker-Boommers.

The propane guy from corpus was up here in Gorda setting up the lines and tanks here, he said he expects it to get over 3. he did give me a 5 hundred gallon tank to build a BBQ pit out of.

The U.S. propane storage inventory going into the coming winter is very low. Weekly inventory builds going into storage have been very low this year due to multiple causes:

1) mask mandates/social distancing/restricted restaurant seating leading to much more backyard BBQing, cooking at home, outdoor restaurant dining with propane space heaters sucked up propane that normally would have gone into storage

2) Canada has completed one or two pipelines to their Pacific coast and is now shipping nat gas/propane to China. This is product that normally would go to U.S. midwest.

3) Hurricane Ida shut down quite a bit of Gulf oil/gas production and refining. Last I heard there is still a lot shut down.

4) Big increase in propane exports to China .et .al in the last few years to be used as feedstock for plastics manufacuring (PVC, etc). So far they have been price insensitive, willing to pay whatever is needed to get it. I think more than half of U.S. propane production is exported now, whereas 20 years ago very little was shipped out.

If I remember correctly, the wholesale commodity price of propane has gone from something like $0.27/gal in Jan/Feb 2021 to about $1.26/gal now.

The poop will hit the fan this winter if it is extra cold.

Look at the current U.S. oil/gas/propane situation at: www.eia.gov/special/heatingfuels/resources/Propane_Briefing.pdf

It's Time That Those Who Want Heat Pay Their Fair Share!

Might be advantageous to look into some of the bastard gasses at those prices.

150 gallons lasted me 6 years

But I only have my weber genesis plumbed to my 500 gal tank

I heat with hydronic hykory

Propane guy told me China has been buying chit loads of it from different supplyers. The Biden admen. Could stop them but has not so it creates a shortage here.
