We have been up at the cabin cooking almost 3 days a week on average including Mrs. Irish making extra soups, stews and meals to package and can for her Mom to eat during the week and for us to have extra for lunches. So a lot of cooking going on at the cabin. We installed the stove and the gas in late March and just a couple of weeks ago finally used our 1st bottle of propane and had to switch over to a new one. That was a lot of cooking for $14.92 a refill at the Walmart in Ft. Payne.

I took that empty bottle and 2 other spares I had at the house and had those refilled, so now I always have full extra bottles.


There’s a ton of “experts” on here who don’t mind providing their critical opinions... funny how real life results differ from our resident experts opinions. Glad the propane decision worked out well for y’all! thumbup

And keep posting your updates - I’ve really enjoyed reading them.
