Is it possible, or feasible, to install surge capacity to make a drier work on a smaller existing line? Could you buy used vessels such as propane bullets, with enough capacity to run the drier intermittently, then wait for them to refill again? Wouldn't get very much gas into them at regulated line pressure, and would be limited on pressure anyways without having to treat it as a vessel needing registration, inspection and certification(and related costs), so would take a massive volume to hold any significant BTU's compared to liquid propane. But if you don't need to run 24/7, it could be an option.

Or could a drier be set up to run dual fuel, with separate burners, where natural gas gets priority, and propane makes up the difference?

There are no local gascos in Sask. Communist held public gas company.

I know of one gasfitter who has access to the equipment for plowing in a larger gas line. He made it clear with SaskEnergy that their costs are 20x industry rate but contractors are not allowed so he uses propane for his new 8MBtu/Hr grain dryer.

We need SaskEnergy/Crown Corporations to change how we are doing things.

Getting hassled on my propane dryer, certification issues on tank and old dryer.
I would like to see the regulations before I comply with the gas inspector.
Anyone got a link?

This is exactly what is taking this country down - regulations, unions and special interest groups.

Nice knowing you, Canada.

There is hardly anywhere to get beef butchered around Ontario any more.

We are lucky - one place 15 minutes from here, but they are booked out for months. They need to spend insane amounts of money every freaking year to keep up with regulatory changes.

It now cost almost $1.00/lb. dressed weight to get a beef processed.
