What do you use LP Gas for in your home? Besides your fireplace do you have an Oven, Range, Hot Water, and or heat hooked up to LP Gas? How much does it run you per month?

good question - i would be interested in knowing that myself as our future home in Ocean Ridge Plantation will have Propane for the stove (hate electric cooking) and I was wondering how much that would run....

As far as I know there is not a company that will bill you "monthly" for propane.
You have a propane tank that you have filled a couple times per year and the cost depends on the size of your tank and the per gallon cost of propane when you sign your contract.

Anything that is not electric as far as appliances go uses propane or natural gas, whichever you have.

Here is the best online source I have found re prices. They quote $3.64 per gallon in Brunswick County if you buy 201-300 gallons. Propane Prices | Compare Propane Prices

Typical home tanks for cooking are 250 gallons, so filling it would cost $910 plus delivery charges. Then you have to add sales tax of 7%. (Sales tax on utilities inceased from 3 to 7% in July.) That price was for January and it has varied a lot seasonally. All you can be sure of is that it is more expensive than natural gas. Have you checked whether you can get natural gas in Winding River? There are some communities which get natural gas from the Myrtle Beach company.

I also like a gas stove, but we did not have that option when we bought the builder's house. However, I have been pleasantly surprised at how much I like my modern smooth-top electric stove. The oven pre-heats very fast, perhaps faster than my old gas stove. I could cook a custard on the top of the stove if I wanted to by insulating the bottom. I also have a "warming zone" where I can let bread rise. You might look into whether you would like an electric induction stove.
