Should I set up automatic propane delivery or stay on will-call if I use my fireplace a lot?
In Canton, if you heat with propane a lot, run automatic delivery — and after the flooding this valley has seen, make sure your gas connections were inspected too. A heavy user at nearly 2,600 feet burns fast, and the last thing a Pigeon River household needs is a run-out stacked on top of everything else.
This valley has been through enough
Flooding along the Pigeon River water-damaged hearths and gas appliances across Canton, and rebuilt systems need their connections checked before you lean on them hard. Once you're back running reliably, automatic delivery is the low-stress path forward.
The supplier tracks the cold and fills ahead of your burn, so an empty tank never becomes one more emergency to manage in a town that's already had its share.
Damp air is hard on the hardware
Valley-floor fog and dampness rust dampers and caps here earlier than you'd expect, and outdoor propane fittings feel that same moisture. A dry tank pulls air into the line, and code requires a leak and pressure test before relight — a hassle worth avoiding entirely by staying topped off.
