Over the last 6 months I have been (and am still) in the process of going AG at ~23L batch sizes. I got a 7.5kW gas burner and stockpot, however sourcing propane is tricky right now, as suppliers are only doing refils/exchange (i.e swapping empty for full).
Given that my preferred supplier normall charge around £40 for the deposit on a cylinder, and I'd be after 2 (for the occasion where one empties mid-brew) and the cost of the gas also, I am thinking I may cut straight to all-in-one instead, and put an electric kettle element in my stockpot to use as a HLT for sparge, and go for something like a brewzilla.
I've seen poeple say they scorch the element when doing a boil with elemnts, so I don't want to go down that route. I looked into buffalo induction hob, but at almost £200, figured may aswel go all-in-one for that kind of money.
Has anyone else had difficulty sourcing propane recently?

Yeah, I think it's a similar story everywhere. I was also planning to use my CO2 supplier as they are local and reliable, but alas, also no 'newbies'.
