You may want to size up your propane storage since there is only one propane refinery in the islands and last year (or the year before) they were down for about five weeks and everyone was running out of propane. We are backing up our on-demand gas water heater with some solar panels as soon as we get around to installing them. I'm also planning on setting up a wood fired cooking area in the back yard so if we run out of propane again there will be options. A solar ovens might be easier to build though.
Propane runs about the same price as gasoline, which is somewhere just under or over $5 a gallon, isn't it?
A solar clothes dryer is a much less expensive alternative to even a gas dryer. All you need is a bit of quarter inch rope or plastic covered wire and some clothespins.
