Extra Propane
Best plug in power booster for Ford Powerstroke 7.3 diesel?
I'm looking at a Bully Dog 5 stage system, but I've been told that I would be better off going with a propane injection system. I want to maintain my fuel mileage for regular driving, but have the extra power available easily when I need it.
there's the Superchip, Edge with juice, painless wiring has a unit with 10 settings, from pulling a house to super economy.
Superchip would be the best bet in my opinion. It'll set you back around $400
Barrett 50 cal takes it to a half full propane tank. plus extra play time

Is there a device that captures the lost heat from your clothes dryer?
With the cost of heating so expensive is it worth it to re-vent the lost heat from your dryer into your house for extra heat? Do these devices work with propane gas laundry dryers?
Yes there is you can buy it at any local hardware store just ask we had one in our old apartment. The only problem was that you had to vent the dryer into the house. It did make the house very warm and smell like fresh clean laundry though. But it caused condenstion on the walls and a lint build up.

Here is a bit of ADVICE for SURVIVAL as I have mentioned Long Ago and do again. It may be summer and the sun is shining BUT there is a huge dark cloud of misery (the angel of death as Ray Nagin out it) on the horizon. All those FEMA caskets by the millions, FEMA camps, military training for riots, rumors of financial shifts, possibility of unrest etc are not a Joke.
Something is on the horizon the prepared and organized will have a better chance at survival, be prepared.
1- Buy large purchases of supplies especially stuff that will ast a long time, food shortages are coming and huge price increases. There are some companies that will see a family’s yearly supply of food in bulk. Buy put it on a credit card.
2- Get seeds to plant a garden next spring.
3- Take most all money out of banks and hold as cash preferably buy gold, silver or maybe oil or euros.
4- Buy all you can with credit cards and SAVE Your CASH. Buy only necessary survival things nothing electric.
5- Check the possibility of not paying your credit obligations and save your CASH it will be king even if devalued. You will not be alone and will have a better chance of survival with cash than any credit. In a Depression Credit is useless.
6- Buy a water filter, one that can filter any water into potable water.
7- Buy ammunition or ammunition supplies even if you don’t own a gun it can be traded for supplies later and may have more value than money.
8- Talk to family and friends and make plans for survival. If you can move away from big population centers especially on the coasts and with Democratic majorities.
9- Learn how to cook at home and how to start a wood fire for cooking safely. Set up all your documents and important things in a water proof container in case if disaster hits and you have to leave in a hurry. This should include water filter, radio, flashlight, cooking and eating utensils, weapons and ammunition, blankets, umbrellas, tent, etc.
10- Join survival groups and other groups of like minded people to learn and stay informed and help each other. Invest in battery operated radio and flashlight stock up on lighters. Go thru your computer and telephone and make a list of contacts and make diff copies and pass out to family and save a copy in water tight container with docs and other things.

PF…We have a propane grill so I told my husband to get a couple of extra propane tanks to use for cooking if the electric goes off.
Oops – I posted this on Scott' site – obviously it should go here… (Maryanne on Footprint)
Oh – here is one I may be able to help with – or at least give my opinion for what it’s worth!
Firstly think again about any extra hardware! There are two things I LOVE aboard our boat that save time and energy.
1) A Large pump action thermos flask (the kind they use to serve coffee in the conference room) – I boil water in the morning for our coffee/tea and boil extra for the thermos – and this keeps water steaming hot for the full day. I can make HOT tea even in the evening with this (or start off with hot water for pasta) – without having to use any extra propane. We keep ours on the counter with some non-slip draw liner beneath and lashed to an eye so it can’t topple over. I think these are under $20 at some place like Target. You can get more expensive unbreakable ones.
2) A pressure cooker – I know this takes up space AND is heavy – but this really cuts down cooking time and steam/condensation in the cabin – think potatoes, corn on the cob, soups, and those beans, all cooked in less than half the standard time! I cook extra rice for an evening meal, and use the spare for egg fried rice brunch!
Also we have a whistling kettle for boiling water.
OK now for food. We lived without refrigeration for years and always have a good stock of a heat treated milk called PARMALAT. It comes in cardboard cartons, in large and lunch box size. A lunch box size carton does me for my breakfast cereal and a cup of hot tea each morning.. If I know we are going to use milk for other things in the day I open the larger carton. It is REAL milk and tastes just the same, don’t let anyone tell you differently. If you can’t bear to drink milk anything but ice cold – you can at least purchase these ahead of time, and put the carton you want for the next day in your new cooler. They keep for about 6 months unrefrigerated (check the dates on the cartons). Depending on the store you can find it in either the coffee/tea section or the baking section – a blue and white carton.
Also look out in the supermarket for a range of Indian foods made by “Tasty Bites” and other brands. They come in a box (the size of a small rice box). Inside the box is a heavy foil like sachet with a fully cooked, ready to heat Indian dish – and you don’t even have to dirty a pan – just boil in the bag. There is a huge range of these, and they take just 5 mins to heat up. I normally have a rice and two different Indian dishes – makes a quick, tasty meal. Again – no refrigeration required!
I suspect that you will be able to get to a store quite often, but if not you can consider sprouting. You can get all fancy but I just buy dried garbanzo beans from the store and sprout with them. This way you have something fresh for your sandwiches / salad dishes.
As for herbs and spices – well, I guess you know what you like. I would be keel hauled if we ran out of Tabasco, and for myself I really like Worcester Sauce I keep most of my spices in a plastic shoe box size box – and write on the lids what they are so I can find them easily.
Oh – and don't be afraid of purchasing eggs without refigeration, they last for at least two weeks. (After that test them to ensure they sink and lay on their side in fresh water, and to be extra sure, crack them individually in a cup before adding to your cooking).
Other than that, I’m sure you have the basics. One more thing you might investigate is stove top cookies – there are hundreds of recipes and I tend to use the oatmeal/chocolate type (both Kyle and I are chocolate lovers). There are also stove top bread recipes, but I have not yet tried them (on the list), let me know if you find a good one).
Oops another essay – hope that helps.
Oh – and as for store bought bread.. Some last longer than others – I particularly like “Heath Nut”, an Arnold brand bread. I swear it lasts 3 weeks, and tastes delicious.
