we all going to suffer from here onwards. 6 cylinders are very less quantity. It is not enough for a year.
It is not that difficult if you are a little careful.i am managing ,since in our state it has been implemented since almost a year.I make my cylinder last for 2 months,of course using the microwave oven for warming up and also using a rice cooker helps a lot..
But this is in effect for long now. However this would make problems for big families. I am not much worried because we do not use even 6 cylinders/year as we do not have big family and never stay in one place. however extra refills are available for extra cost.
I can give a alternate suggestion that is induction cooker. It is very easy to use and cheap.
I just ordered for an Induction cooker just to make a balance of the gas.

Nice decision taken. It will reduce the gas consumption.
Really what to do nothing could be done so there is no option in buying this cooker.
If you are a joint family, you may take separate connection for each nuclear family consisting of one joint family. For small family, a cylinder should last at least for two months. So, this should not pose a problem.
We are living in rental home and periodic shift....so it's not possible for us to keep firewood hearths and utensils. 2 months is OK......
But my gas cylinder exhausts in 1.5 months
The families will have a tough time managing their kitchen expenses. I think as Gulshan Sir mentioned we can have more than a connection in case of joint families, so such smart moves can reduce the expenditure and help maintain financial stability in the households.
I am able to manage a cylinder for two months so its not very worrying for me, but yes we need to be really careful with its usage! Big families who need more than that can go with second connection but now I think getting a second connection has also become difficult!

I am thinking of getting a solar cooker to use occasionally, has anyone tried it?

You can buy an induction cooker also.
Now In kerala, almost all houses own an induction cooker. (But I don't have)

Yes I am considering that option too but only comparing the two because induction cooker costs electricity even though its quite low, but solar energy comes free!! :laugh:

Solar cooker is too slow unless you want to eat your lunch at dinner time. If the power supply is okay, induction cooker is a good choice but make sure it is not not made in China.
Yes, that's a bad news and that will only lead to buying in black. Here many people are doing that only. They are already paying 600-700 per cyclinder. Other options might not be feasible for all.
Also solar things take long time to prepare..

Thanks for the tip, there are many being sold in the market for mere rs 2000, probably made in China, I will keep away from them! But solar cooker will definitely work in summer, won't it? Sun is very hot then in the mornings as well!

Induction cooker is better choice over solar cooker as it takes a very long time and you can't imagine how long it will take for the pulses to cook in a solar cooker. It can be kept for usage sometimes but not for daily purposes because time cannot be wasted. Moreover during the rainy/winter days when you don't get to see the sun for days, then solar cooker is a complete failure.

Work of Solar cooker depends on number of panels installed, the single panel is too slow in any season. Induction cooker range varies from 1200-2000. Indian made good ones are available for around 2k.

It will not be a smart move but it is illegal to posses more than one gas connection per household since you are depriving someone else of a gas connection.They have a limited supply and they want it to be distributed equally...I had two connections in two different names and in different cities but within the same state but once I came to know I have given it back ..
