That the one. I used them a bit in my hunting cabin.
Very nice item.

There are millions of homes heated by propane; most of them converted from oil for one reason or another.

In Eastern California we have a 14,000 foot mountain range (the Sierra, highest mountains in U.S. outside Alaska) blocking ocean breezes, so it gets darn hot here - 105 is normal in July and in nearby Death Valley it hits well over 120 degrees each July.

Granted, it gets very hot inland, but I was under the impression that the majority of the population was on the coast where the temps were more moderate. Might explain the lower average electricity usage.
