For myself, I have shutoffs for each appliance, a main shutoff and of course a shutoff at the tank. You can't have too many IMO..

Good morning,

When I had someone inspect the propane stove used for heat, I was told it was okay. But when he saw the pipes inside that were used for an inside camping stove, he said that was illegal. I live in CA.
I will likely have to install a compost toilet and a shower outside the yurt.

Yes, an inside camping stove is against code in any structure just about anywhere. My stove is a typical gas range with a pilot light. It looks similar to this.

OK here's a short story about 'fails'. Back in 1974 when I was 20 and attending CU in Boulder CO I rented a cheap appt in the basement of a very old home. That house was divided into 7 (!!) appts, all of them occupied by dumbazz college students just like me..

To use the defective old school range pilot light oven I'd have to occasionally light the pilot with a piece of flaming paper. BOOOOM!!! The oven door blew open and flames shot out.

I didn't tell the property manager or anyone else. Schmitt like that happened back in the day without result. But nowadays you can get sued.

My gas on the oven won't turn on until the second pilot heats up the valve, then it opens up the next valve. Most of these Amish friendly pilot-only stoves have a lot of safety features built-in. Unfortunately, it makes them very expensive.

Our slide in range/oven is natural gas. If the cooktop burners don't get ignited the gas will run anyway. Scent is added to the gas to alert a problem.

We had a typical natural gas forced air furnace/air conditioner combo in our condo. The unit had a replaceable primary filter which I regularly changed.

What it also had that I did not know about was a secondary air filter hidden inside that couldn't be reached without disassembling some of the plenum. It became COMPLETELY plugged up over three decades to where the furnace didn't ignite properly from lack of combustion air supply. I ignored that. "It's just getting old." BOOOM!! lol

After a brief examination the tech said, "I recommend you replace this old unit with a new high efficiency furnace, Bob" lol
