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!

There is one reason against induction: if you have a pacemaker. You shouldn’t stand directly in front of it. So if you also like to cook at the same time, having an alternative would be good. Well, an induction cooktop is not really a problem for pacemaker users, at least not with normal use. Technology has advanced a lot, and much of what used to be borderline is no longer an issue. At my previous workplace, a university hospital, there was a research group focused exactly on this topic, and I was responsible for statistical analyses for them. They studied fields much stronger than those generated by an induction cooktop at normal distances. So you can be reassured.

I don’t think it’s worth it.Most things in our kitchens aren’t really “worth it” if you look at them rationally. But we don’t do that. If you want to cook with gas, you just go for it. I wanted it too. We would have needed gas cylinders, which we know from the gas grill and camper van. In the end, we chose the lower-maintenance option—so gas wasn’t that important after all.
