You get 21,622 BTU's per pound. So a 20 pound bottle will net you 43,2440 BTU's. There are about 200,781.25 btu in a cubic foot of oak, but would it be far to say you burn a cord per season about $150, actually that sounds cheaper, since I don't know how much LPG a setup (and my type of burner, previously stated) would use. I guess it's just a convenience thing for me. Hell you could use a BBQ bottle to help you start it up faster. Nice boat though, I wanna try it on mine.
I think outfitting a LPG burner would be more efficient and cheaper to run, and no waiting for your fire to get up to temp, heats up faster than wood, no stoking the fire, just a valve. Like a naturally aspirated blast furnace burner, tanks might freeze, but all you gotta do is route some lake water through some coils heat it to around 110 degrees and have it dump into a open tank where the tanks are, like aluminum lift truck tanks.
