It struck me it would cost a lot of gas over the year (and from what
I've read it's anything from £25 to £90 a year).


Whatever you do, make sure that you keep the fire going in your steam
wagon. It's a pig to get started again if it *does* go out. [I'm
assuming that you *do* have a steam wagon - otherwise you'd have to
embrace modern technology, which would be anathema to you.]


I'm certainly not stupid enough to spend £1000+ on getting a new boiler fitted to save £50 a year on gas.
