Electricity Cost Versus Gas Camping Canister Cost.

Zoomup
BBBBBbbbbrrrrr, it is cold.


Can anyone please compare the heating costs of domestic electricity to a 227 gram camping gas canister of Butane as  used in a portable heater please? Perhaps in kW hours for both. The gas canisters can cost up to £1.50 but are available at about G.B.P. 1.00 in bulk. Thanks,


Z.

    You won't stay very warm with a heater like that Zoom, and if it is cold it will freeze the gas solid, so not much use! 47kg propane are much better with a nice big heater. Propane will work ok to at least -20C.
