Re gas consumption for cooking.... you may be in for a nice surprise.

We ( 2 permanent and two weekend residents) use bottled propane for our 4 ring gas hob (nothing fancy, just the lowest cost Ikea model)

Most of our food is prepared on this, with exception of boiling water for drinks and occasional roasts that are done on the multi-fuel stove.
We could easily use this in stead of the gas hob, but the latter is so much more convenient that is used almost exclusively.

10 or 12Kg propane bottle lasts us approx. 6 months summer and winter alike. Used frugally and with geater use of the multifuel stove's capabilities, we would be using less than one x10kg per year I think.

I was really surprised at the economy of cooking this way. It highlights how much energy we waste in conventional homes.
