Default Propane vs. Nat. Gas

I live in a rural area currently with electric only. No pun intended.
There are rumors of nat. gas coming soon, but who knows when. We want a gas
stove. Am considering propane. I have a propane stove at the cabin and it
works fine. Heats fast, bakes good. We don't use it a lot, not nearly as
much as we would at the primary house.

For those who have/have had both propane and natural gas, is it worth it to
wait for the natural gas, or just do the propane thing. And then convert
when it gets there if we choose to?

I certainly like propane for grilling, but can't compare as I have never
used nat. for outdoor cooking. Is there a big difference in that?

Steve, visit a local RV/mobile home business.. They can give you
ideas. many places as a child had duel propane tanks. LP tanks usage
was rotated when a tank was empty...turn one valve on and the other
off. The local company filled the empty tank, so you always had one
tank full of LP.

Before that is was splitting wood to cook (another stove)..

NG is the best for my cooking, BUT you may pay dearly to get it into
the house. Let the gas company bring the lines to you. Over time it
cost you less.
