We use LP to cook with and have a one hundred gallon tank, with just the two of us it lasts about 3 months, but we don’t cook every day, We rent the tank, it is cheap insurance, if anything happens to the tank, they replace it. You are definitely going to need a big tank, I would call the local supplier and see what he recommends and find out how often they have a truck nearby to fill your tank, also make sure that you can get it topped off, ask if they have a minimum for delivery. Just a few thoughts

Subject: [DIY] LP Gas
GOOD AFTERNOON, DIY'ers!!
We are looking at purchasing some rural land and building on it. I have been told that natural gas is not available in the area, so I am considering LP.
Ultimately, we would like to cook, heat water, and have a backup generator for the well pump driven by the LP. We live in coastal SC; Hugo had power off in this area for a couple of weeks.
My questions to this group are:
What questions should I be asking about LP in general, and what questions do I need to ask of potential suppliers?
Do I need to buy a tank, or are those generally rented? Assuming they are generally rented, what does rent usually run for an LP tank, and what sizes should I be focusing on for a family of 8 and about 2000 sq ft?
