Switching to gas

Options
Currently our house has an electric cooker in the kitchen which we would liek to change to gas but the village doesnt have mains gas. Could we get a gas cylinder and plumb it in that way? Is this sort of thing expensive?

Cheers

    Yes, you can run a suitable cooker on LPG, but it would take a long time to recover the capital expenditure in reduced running costs (plus the need to buy new cylinders).
    And it's an LPG-qualified RGI install, not DIY, so you'll have that one-off cost of that as well.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Assuming you don't already have one, get an induction hob. Most people with them will rate them as better than gas (including me!). They're also far more efficient than other electric hob types.
