So the land we have purchased has no natural gas (nor does the town) so we are left with either LPG or Elect hotplate. I've alway had natural gas so just looking for opinions on the above.
Thanks in advance

Haven't had natural gas in 20 years only LPG. Not a problem in the world. Works just as well as natural gas. I much prefer it to hot plates. One big plus is that with the number of power outages regional area have, you can always cook.

You never really run out. Have 2 bottles and just switch when one empties. One 45kg bottle will last over 12 months.

In the place we are currently renting we have electric hotplates...I hate them.

Cooked on NG for 10+ years but for the last 12 months I've been in a townhouse that has bottled LPG - Can't tell the difference.

Electric hot plates should be banned from sale, but I suppose there will always be people who purchase based on price alone.

Get an induction cooktop.

I can see why you may prefer natural gas over induction, but I recommend induction over bottled gas.

You can still purchase a cheap camping lpg gas stove if you need a real wok burner which are much more powerful than the wok burners found on stovetops.

Thanks for the replies I'm currently looking into a 900 upright, so leaning toward LPG at the moment just not sure on the cost of bottles, so I'll have to look into that also I guess... :/

Definitely LPG...!

I am in the same predicament in our town and have decided to go with the LPG. I HATE cooking on electric hotplates. From what I have read it is not as cheap as natural gas but as long as you aren't running heaters and what not on it the cost isn't huge.

keep in mind there is a third option - Induction. Easier to clean and no need for bottles. Also prices have come down a lot.

We are having bottled gas for the cooktop in the new house as there is no gas in the area. We have always had electric but my mum has LPG. My mum gets quite a few power outages, so perfect to still be able to use the gas.
