The cylinders are intended to be stored indoors. People who use them for camping often keep them in the loft, with significant temperature variation. Although they're a danger in a fire, at that point you've got bigger things to worry about like getting out.

Calor or CampingGaz of a few kilos would be adequate, especially if you only use the gas when you really want it (e.g. a gas wok burner) and stick to the electric stove the rest of the time. There are many types of electric cooker and some are better than you might think.

There aren't any legal issues, but if its a flat, there may be restrictions on doing this. I'm not an expert but it's something you should look into with your conveyancer if it's an essential.

I am currently in Vietnam and it standard practice here to have a gas cylinder under the kitchen counter that the gas appliance sits on. (I doubt there is any code here or the desire to comply with any code. They drive around in chaotic traffic with gas cylinders on the back of motor scooters to deliver them)

An alternative (if your flat is a house or town house ) is to have a large propane tank installed on the outside of you home and a gas line installed to the kitchen ( or heating appliance ) inside your home. you can then have gas delivered to you and not have to deal with continued change outs of small gas cylinders.
