Pat, I'd simply comment that I didn't want bottled gas either (I think
the bottles look too much like bombs waiting for a detonator), but after
cooking on mains gas for 5 years, then a solid fuel/oil-fired range for
another 6, I gritted my teeth and went for bottled gas when the
opportunity arrived.
I don't regret it at all.
