For supplemental heat in cold snaps, emergent use if the elec grid goes down and occ ambiance might get a stove for living room…. LP company showed where the tank would go so it’s next to house, horizontal…would come filled with 96 gallons….need to use 200 gal in a years time for no tank rental fee. If I got a Jotel DV Allagash ipi stove as the only appliance using LP…I think max 26000 btu for my 1200’ home… Does this sound feasible? Does anyone have experience heating with a new Med size gas stove like I am planning? Any pics you can share of inside or outside wall of home where it vents? What are major pitfalls….pros/cons I may be oblivious to? TIA
