Containerized fuel, including propane stoves, is acceptable at all GSSJC camps. The Council does not own or maintain propane stoves.

Propane is a safe fuel to use in your home and business. Propane has a narrow range of flammability and cannot be ingested like gasoline or alcohol fuels because it is released as a vapor from a pressured container. In addition, award-winning preventive maintenance programs like GAS Check? (Gas Appliance System Check) ensure that homeowners understand how to properly maintain their propane appliances and enjoy a healthy, safe environment.

A You can use pretty much any type of wood as long as it has not been chemically treated with preservatives etc. Standard cordwood split one additional time is good for optimal burning/heating. Lengths the stoves can handle are as follows:

The NPGA has developed a comprehensive maintenance program called GAS Check? (Gas Appliance System Check), in which trained technicians inspect propane systems and appliances in homes to ensure they are running safely and efficiently. The program also educates homeowners on the proper maintenance of propane appliances and how to handle propane safely.

It is impossible to calculate exactly the amount of propane you will use in a season. Many factors influence the amount, such as outdoor temperature, wind velocity, insulation in your home, and thermostat settings, just to name a few. There is a good tool to use for estimating the amount of energy you might use in your home. Go to www.usepropane.com

GAS Check® (Gas Appliance System Check) is an award-winning preventive maintenance program developed by the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) and funded by the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) that trains technicians and educates homeowners on the safe handling of propane and the maintenance of propane appliances.

Propane is a trusted and reliable energy source that is used by millions of Americans each day. It fulfills energy needs by burning cleanly and efficiently, giving consumers more value for their energy dollar.

Propane, also called LP Gas (liquefied petroleum gas) is a widely used fuel. It is transported and stored as a very cold liquid which can cause a “freeze burn” or frostbite if it contacts the skin. The liquid propane turns into a gas inside a tank or cylinder.

The estimate given by the manufacturer for the gasoline run time can be used for propane also because it is just that; an estimate or guess. Propane only has about 10% less Btu content than gasoline gallon-to-gallon, so the manufactures gasoline estimate will be very close for propane.

Once you have an account, you will be able to create as many camp web sites as you wish. They can all be managed from one administrative account.

The facilities of Camp Mack are designed for groups. The groups using Camp Mack need to fit into our Mission Statement. For personal retreats see Personal Retreating.

In May 2002, the Solid Waste Management District Board approved an annual maximum 3 month* credit for: This credit will not be granted until the home has been unoccupied for 3 months. You will need to apply for this credit by filling out a Special Consideration form. You are required to submit proof. This credit will not be granted until the home has been unoccupied for 3 months. This credit adjustment is only available if the home is unoccupied and remains so for a three month period.

No. Propane is an approved, alternative clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane is one of the cleanest burning of all alternative fuels; new propane-fueled vehicles can meet the very tough Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards, and one model even meets the Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standards. Propane is also nontoxic, so it's not harmful to soil or water.

Yes. Propane is stored in portable tanks, so it can be used in areas beyond the natural gas mains. When used in vehicles, propane is also easily replenished and refuels at 10 gallons to 12 gallons per minute, similar to gasoline. More than 10,000 propane refueling sites are available across the country.

A Because they are water-cooled, Snorkel and Scuba stoves will last indefinitely but you need to make sure to keep rain water out of the stove: it can combine with the ashes to form a caustic acid that can eat through the stove.
