if I end up canceling my arrangement with Maingas, any recommendations for another company who can provide propane in Moultonboro? I Have a gas range and a fireplace insert, so i do not use much, and thus am not highly sensitive to the price/gallon. I don't want to pay minimums or "convenience fees" though. thanks.

Where as you "don't use much" any supplier you go with is going to charge a premium price per gallon and most likely fees for "tank rental" etc. I know folks who are paying upwards of $6.00 or more, per gallon because of their low consumption in their seasonal homes.
To avoid the fees you need to meet the minimums, the more propane you buy/use the cheaper the price per gallon.
All the Propane Companys do it. It stinks but it is just the way it is.
The only way to avoid tank rental fees etc. is to do what RLW has done and own your tanks, even then you will still pay the premium price per gallon due to low usage.
