Looks pretty sweet! Do you happen to know someone who uses a ventless propane heater? Curious about costs of running it.

You're best bet for getting annual propane usage is probably to call up the nearest propane delivery service and ask them. Yurts run a bit colder so you might use roughly the same as a typical house (bigger but better insulated). You have the cost of getting a tank (5-500 gallons) plus filling it up however many times a year (once or twice if the tank is sized correctly). Propane costs vary a good deal by region, season, and year.

If you are just talking about using it to keep a 24 yurt warm between wood stove fuelups (while you are away), I bet you could get away with a 40 pound tank every month or two. Here, that is about $25 to refill right now in NY. I had a friend who used to run one for supplement heat in a back room of a bar he owns. He went through a 20 pounder every 2 weeks in the winter, but that was the ONLY heat there was in there at night.
