I am a firm believer in gas. A thing to remember if you do get gas, there are 
two ways to go, first is connect to mains gas (if available), or second, get 
bottled gas. Different appliances are required depending on which way you go. 
With mains gas you have a minimum monthly payment (about $12-50 six years ago) 
but with bottles you pay as you go, about $50 a bottle, which lasts me about 
18 months. With two bottles and a change over valve you then have miles of 
time to get a bottle refilled. They will do it the same day if you are really 
in trouble!! The bottles are far cheaper.
