Most we presume with GAS is naturally piped in....
Do any of you guys have Propane?....or is it strickly Natural Gas or Electric and by luck I also happen to have a conversion kit to convert from Natural to Propane, from a Maytag Neptune 5500 series, should fit most, if anyone needs this let me know, its yours for shipping cost.... | ||

I prefer natural gas if I had to choose between the two.
Propane for cooking STINKS to me, and I am not a fan of the carbon given off, (evidence by orange to white light coming off the tips fo the propane flame). Even the damned side-burner of my propane grill blackened the bottoms of pots and pans! Again natural gas for a clothes dryer I'll tolerate, not propane. | ||

I SELL PROPANE all day long because ,here in Hawaii,there is no natural gas. We sell the best there is and at the lowest price ($4.20/gal.+ tax) in the entire state of Hawaii.We just upgraded our tank from an 800 gal. to a whopping 2000 gal tank. That was quite an adventure because they had to use a lift to take the other one away and place the new one in.The entire process took an hour and a half but the new tank is so much better and we no longer have to get it refilled as frequently as before.I,myself prefer electric but here it's $.45/KWH!!!!!Our average day, we pump out 300+gal.

SNG "Although Hawaiian natural gas consumption is the lowest in the country, the State has the distinction of being one of three States that produce synthetic natural gas." CLICK HERE TO GO TO 3beltwesty's LINK | ||

In rural areas of the midwest it seems that most everyone has a silver propane tank out in the backyard, next to the house. | ||

I live on a rock.......
so we have no Natural gas lines up in this area, I guess its one of the drawbacks for living in the "mountains" Oddly enough, there is nat gas a mile down the road. The stove is a new GE propane, 2-100# tanks supply it but I've only had to order gas once in the three years I've owned this house. I never noticed any difference with cooking with Nat Gas or Propane.
The furnace is oil and I doubt I will switch to a propane one when its time to replace it. I understand propane for heating is even more expensive than oil. The dryer and hot water heater are electric. It really wasn't worth the expense to change them to propane so I kept them electric, although I bought new ones 3 years ago. Electric bill isn't terrible. About $100/month in winter, and mostly because the water coming in is so much colder the water heater has to work longer. Summer bills are just a little lower. | ||

 I use propane for heating purposes. I use electric for the dryer, range, & h2o heater. I have a 500 gallon tank behind the house. I fill it once in November and once in February (I always have propane left from Feb when I fire the heat back up sometime around the end of Oct). Propane was about $1.40/gallon in Nov & $2.20 in Feb this year. | ||
