It would take very little propane - and very little time - to do this on LP stove. One green Coleman cartridge of propane contains 1 lb (!), and it always lasted me more than 5 days in a tent, sometimes 8-9 days, with hot meals twice a day and countless cups of tea and coffee. 20 lb tank will last you several months, if used for stove only. It's fridge and furnace that are eating up most of your propane, - not the stove.
