lol Why not, I mean propane containers are a whopping 4 bucks now a days, lol might work though, I'm gonna try this tomorrow and write back on the details as to if this works or not.

Did it end up working?

I'm thinking maybe the electricity cost would equal more than the price of propane?

lol, it sputters allot at first, but after about 5 frustrating minutes of trial and error, it finally sparked up and kept going!! the hardest part was trying to get it to fit the propane nozzle, i had to break it off and modify it a bit., i have yet to try cooking anything,(also because im not sure if it is safe to use to actually cook and eat with) but it kept burning for a good 15 minutes until i got bored and unplugged it.

Could you put a pot of water on it and see how well it heats/boils water? This would help me to decide if my home heating idea is worth pursuing.

By the way, excellent idea and work. This is good information to have.
