    Help choosing lpg/oil/biomass please!

    Someone on here recently said that lpg is about to get massive price hikes, but that could be speculation, so lpg could potentially be a large future fuel cost. Biomass you need a fair bit of space and requires you to be there to refill/clean etc, so more user labour intensive. Oil I'm not...

    Being slightly oversize isn't going to harm it so maybe you are over thinking it a little. 24l would be plenty.
