If you are buying a new stove, you don't need a converter kit. You just buy and LP version of the stave. My hubs and I love to cook - and greatly prefer gas. We have a Wolf dual fuel range (gas on top - electric with convection in the oven).

Taj - your comments on location (the original thread topic) are spot on. If you can rent for a bit - or like some of us who couldn't - you research as much as you can - you will find the place that suits your needs. In our case we wanted to be near friends in Largo, we wanted a lot of privacy but didn't want to spend the $$ for a golf course lot and wanted a cul de sac if possible. We found a home on a cul-de-sac in Bonita - just one village down from Largo off Canal St - with a villa wall in back, a side view to Kenya and room for the buried propane tank.
Sounds like you found a nice spot. We wanted to back to a villa wall, but couldn't find one at the time, but we do like being by a cul-de-sac and the lack of traffic.
