ᐅ Is it possible to operate a gas cooktop without a fixed gas connection, using a gas cylinder instead?

Good evening,
we have started planning our kitchen and want to install an 80 or 90 cm (31½ or 35½ inches) induction cooktop. I recently came across slim gas cooktops, for example the Siemens iQ700 ER3A6BD70D, and am wondering if that could be a nice addition. The development area where we will build is new, and we were told that a gas line will be provided there. However, for the building services, we are not planning to use gas, and I strongly suspect that connecting gas just for such a cooktop would never be cost-effective, since regular connection fees, meters, and so on would also apply.
Therefore, I am wondering if it is possible to operate the cooktop, for example, with an 11 kg (24 lb) gas cylinder, placed outside the house through a feed line, for example in a small shelter, or inside a corner of the kitchen in the base cabinets.
According to information online (e.g., on the blog of the gas accessories supplier GOK), this seems possible. Has anyone had practical experience with this, or is it something that sounds good in theory but is nonsense in practice? Many thanks!

Bottled gas is propane, while natural gas comes from the pipeline. You have to keep that in mind with gas grills; I believe the pressure regulator and nozzles are different. It should be the same issue with a stove.Certainly. Every gas cooktop I have bought so far came with two different sets of nozzles included.I don’t think it’s worth it.
I used to want to build with a gas stove as an ambitious cook. Absolutely. Then those crappy ceramic cooktops came along, and my desire grew. But now there is induction, which combines all the positive features I need for cooking. Quite fast and quite clean.
For half the year, you can also enjoy using a gas grill and/or a charcoal grill outside.
If I had space and money left over, I probably would have wanted one of those teppanyaki surfaces instead – which I now have on my grill.
If I were building again now, I would go for a two-burner induction cooktop in the kitchen and nothing more.

There is one reason to avoid induction cooktops: if you have a pacemaker. You shouldn’t stand in front of it. So if you like to cook at the same time, another option would be good. I think then quite a few things wouldn’t work, right?
