How many gallons of propane per year would be consumed by a high quality, full size, propane oven that is used to bake two loaves of bread every day? Not the burner top, just the oven.
I would appreciate hearing about any experience you have regarding oven gas consumption. I am trying to figure out how much propane I would need to store.

Contact your propane company. *They should be able to help you with that information...
I have another alternative oven suggestion. *I have a Sharp Convection/Microwave (wall-mounted over the stove with a fan/air filter) and I can bake 2 loaves of bread in 25 minutes - NO PREHEATING (one loaf in 20 minutes). *I use it when I don't have other baking to do in my regular oven. *Keeps the energy use to a minimum and the heat out of the kitchen. *
In the warmer months I bake in my Solar Ovens. *REALLY keeps the heat out of the kitchen. * ;)
Modified to add... If you are using a hearth kit in your oven and you have prolonged preheating (say up to one hour), you'll need to also figure preheating time as well as baking time for the type/s of bread you bake.
