    Power options for yurt in S. Utah

    Hey everybody,
    My Dad and I are getting ready to build a yurt on some property we own outside of Capital Reef NP. We are pretty much done with planning on the frame, and where we are putting it. We are now looking for options to power it. Being on the outside of the park, on the east side, off the Notom Road, there isn't much power as far as comin from the power company, plus, the money they want is just outrageous. We really don't even need that much power anyways. Pretty much to run a couple lights, stereo, fridge, and other small appliances. I am looking for options, solar, propane, ect, but just curious if anyone has any advice for powering a small building out in the middle of no where

    Thanks.

    we used to live in a beach house for the summer on propane. gas stove, fridge and lights. not sure about power for stereo, etc. i think 2 large tanks (not sure of exact size but about 5' high) would last most of the summer.

    We have one of these up at land. Runs a well, and a bunch of other junk we have. Didn't realize how expensive they are... damn. I'm sure you could find a different brand with the same results, maybe not as fuel eff. but would still work.

    Is this Barlow?

    Call up Freeway Propane in Spanish Fork 801-798-0838 it is on your way. The are like a local ski shop but for propane and Propane accessories.

    They special ordered me a propane fridge and got me all sorted for a small project of mine.
    Switch powder skiing, while mostly useless, may be the missing link between skiing and snowboarding
