I would say everyone in my neighborhood has the "mushroom" tank lid in their side yard. Any appliance that works on natural gas can be adapted for LP use. Natural gas is not available in our area only propane. We get a delivery monthly from October through April then the April delivery lasts until the following October. Just as safe as electricity.

What is your area, livsea2? That is my dream, to ditch this electric stove and replace it with a duel-fuel stove--gas cooktop with two elecgtric ovens in one appliance. But we don't have gas in our area of TV, and with an small inside lot, I'm not sure if we could have a tank put in.
The house we rented in Key West ran on propane heat and cooking. It was super. You couldn't tell the difference between that and natural gas. The tank was above ground, though... probably because that's all coral rock down there.
