Chris Clayton over at DTNAg.com brought to my attention the fact that they’ve got several blogs up and running on their website. They all say “Limited Trial” on them which I think is interesting. I guess they’re just testing the waters on this blog thing. I’m betting they’d like some feedback on what they’re doing so check it out and …
Grill Out On Father’s Day
Since Laura just did a post on beef I had to post this YouTube video of a commercial spot for BullsEye BBQ Sauce. Now that I’m home for a few days you can count on the ZimmComm smoker to be put into action probably with a selection of goodies (beef, pork, chicken, fish). If you’re going to be grilling this …
Photographers Shoot Each Other
The shooter got shot again. This is becoming a “tradition” whenever you get AgriTalk and ZimmComm in the same area at an event. AgriTalk producer John Herath likes his Nikon as much as I like mine. So sometimes we just happen to be pointed the same way. After looking at this picture I’m wondering if the photographer behind me is …
A Salute To The Capitol
Here’s a comforting sight to anyone who’s spent much time in Washington. I’m done here for this trip but just know I’ll be back. I had the chance to get out on the Mall for a while in between rain storms this afternoon (jogging). I didn’t make it as far as I have in the past but I did get …
Propane Projects Focused on Agriculture
One of the people I spent some time talking with here at Propane Days is Mark Leitman, Director of Agriculture Programs for the Propane Education & Research Council. Mark is the go to guy when it come to ag and propane. Because of the way the law was written that created PERC, 5% of the organization’s funds have to go …

The man in charge of this area is Brian Feehan. He’s pictured here to the right of a group that I was working with this …
Keeping It Safe With Propane
The folks on Capitol Hill have definitely received an education when it comes to propane this week at Propane Days. One of the very important things they learned about is propane safety. The propane safety man is Stuart Flatow, VP, Safety and Training for the
Propane Gets Hot Water Without a Tank
One of the companies that the Propane Education & Research Council is working with on some projects is Rinnai. This is a company that makes gas fired appliances and one thing they’re doing that is real interesting is tankless water heaters. As you’ll hear in my interview with Mike Peacock (left) and Kirk Morrow, they’re working with PERC on a …
Putting Propane Tanks on Mowers
I met Chris Row with Manchester Tank here at Propane Days and we talked about mowers. Chris says that his company is working with several OEM’s to bring propane powered mowers to market. I think they’re focusing on mower fleets primarily at this point. He says they want to help build mowers that will run smoothly over rough terrain. One …
Roy Willis is Proud of PERC Work
The President/CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council is Roy Willis. He was on hand at the sessions taking place this morning for the 3rd Annual Propane Days here in Washington, DC. Roy says PERC’s goal here is to help educate policy makers so that they make good decisions based on sound science and research. I asked him to …
