Homeowners with gas lanterns; I have questions....

How much do you think this adds to your overall bill each month?
How many do you have?
If this is a new installation; do you have a particular brand or style you recommend over others?
I will need the propane conversion kit no matter which one I pick.
Anybody regret having them? What things do I need to consider before going down this path?
eta i'm looking for something similar to this:

Don't know, don't care.
How many do you have?
2, gas lanterns are a must in Highland Park.
If this is a new installation; do you have a particular brand or style you recommend over others?
Whatever matches the architectural style of your home. Unless you have a McMansion.

You will earn the instant respect from your neighbors, get ready for that.

2 lanterns. I've estimated the cost to run around the clock is $20-$30 per month. I leave them off except for the holidays and when guests come over.

I've got one, runs 24/7. Nearly just like the one you posted.
Our natural gas consumption in this house vs. our previous home is negligible.

I have two. I don't know $15-$20 a month. FYI they're more for looks. They don't put off a lot of light.

I tested it in the past and the any they use is almost negligible. It was less than $10/month for 2 lanterns

Damn that's a lot of questions.
Add to bill? If you are worried about $5 worth of gas you don't want to be buying $1000 lanterns.
How many? Main house, guest quarters, entrance gates? Ten or twelve I guess.
Just bought two new ones for new entrance gate from Flambeaux who is a competitor to Bevolo started by a former employee. Bevolo is the original but they are just copper and glass so whatever. Get the New Orleans French Quarter style.
No regrats brah. You can't beat the classic look of gas and I highly recommend.

I hated having them in my last house because they were always blowing out and needed to be relit all the time. Don't know if that's normal but it was a pain.

Id say safely estimate $20 ish a month. Don't have, wouldn't mind having but they aren't cheap and cost to run gas to them after home is complete is costly

Cost is a regional answer. Where natural gas is cheap like LA, costs can run as low as $5/month per lantern. May go as high as $12-$15 per month in high price areas. Get the BTU of the lantern and you can calculate the approximate cost per month based on your areas rates.

anyone familiar with French Market Lanterns?

They are the first site I ran across and they are very responsive to questions and offer free shipping.

I have 6 that run 24/7, two sconces in the front 4 in the back. Along with gas in kitchen, grill outside and washing machine. We get a bill for around $50/mt.

Have these exact ones, (2), on either side of the entrance on a home built in 1991. They have been running 24/7/365. No regrets, gas bill is the same now as it has been for the last 20 years, it seems $40 to $60 per month on average. Also have a gas lantern in the yard, but every home in the neighborhood is required to have a yard lantern.

I have a gas lantern. It doesn't work. Never bothered to fix it.
