Dual Fuel Cooker - How long can I expect from fill of gas

    Hi, I know my question is like the old "how big is a hole". I am thinking of buying a dual fuel cooker with gas hob / electric oven and using Calor 34KG Red Cylinders, as Nat Gas not in my area. For an average family of 4 cooking maybe a dinner a day on the hob and the odd fry, how long could I expect my fill of gas to last. I'm not looking for an accurate figure, just a guide in months

    Thanks

    I use one of the short yellow cylinders every 3 months or so on cooking.

    Thanks for reply guys, I didn't expect gas to be that economical for cooking, def buying dual fuel now. Spending a fortune on ESB for a halogen ring cooker at the moment, plus Gas is so much more controllable.

    We have the large gas cylinder and havent changed it since we moved in over 14 months ago. We cook only like what you want to do and only 2 of us.
