Hi, I just started using TBN, great site, great people and I have learned alot.
I would like to get your ideas about how much propane is a reasonable amount to cook (range top only, elec. oven) and provide domestic hot water for two people.
We use 315 gal. of propane per year. I am guessing the cooking accounts for no more than 50 gal. of that - but it is just a guess. One gallon of propane equals 4.24 Lbs., so a 20 Lb grill tank would be 4.72 gal.
50 gal. of propane would be like using ten or eleven 20 Lb tanks - approximately - for cooking. We hardly ever go out to eat, the stove gets used a good bit.
What do you think? Is my DHW propane usage (265 Gal./yr) high?
