Reading this site:
One interesting thing is the pricing of electricity against bottled Propane.
Electricity 15.4p/kWh
Bottled Propane:
3.9kg cylinder 31.7p/kWh6kg cylinder 25.7p/kWh
13kg cylinder 15.6p/kWh19kg cylinder 11.3p/kWh
47kg cylinder 9.8p/kWhThe site in general has some figures which don't really match my perceptions - for instance bulk oil being cheaper (at 3p/kWh) than mains gas (4.8p/kWh) but my main interest is in the Propane values. These suggest that large Propane bottles are more cost effective for heating than electricity.
It also suggests that as I have two different sizes of bottle in the camper (6kg and 13kg) I should use the 6kg as an emergency supply and try and use the 13kg all the time, instead of switching between bottles when they are empty.
All this prompted by my plan to use up some spare Propane from a black tank by heating the shed, and thinking that in the longer term heating the shed by electricity would be cheaper than using bottled gas.
If this site is to be believed I would be better off using a 19kg Propane cylinder.
