instead use a method wherein the customer can buy a disposable sachet of "fuel in powder form" and refill a "cooking stove" by emptying the sachet into a receptacle area, this will get rid of gas cylinders and the stove will be portable and be able to cook in the absence of electricity, or even LNG pipes, and also eliminate the vast red tape bureaucracy of Oil distribution agencies and middlemen?

how about compressed methane gas in pellet/capsule form? you could buy off the shelf, capsules which when put in the stove compartment, break down releasing methane gas or whatever that the fuel is made of, soyou could buy "SOVIET PETROL", "BP", "EXXON", "HB", "MOBIL" and "SHELL" and mix and match different capsules from different providers thereby breaking the monopoly / price fixation? - IG 1991

And what is this powder made of? I doubt such a thing is possible. Those cylinders are completely full of hydrocarbon fuel, and that is what is needed to power a stove.
Your question is something like: why don't we just run our cars on water, instead of gasoline?

When was the last time you saw natural gas or propane in powder form ? You could always use charcoal. Plus a cylinder contains lots of BTU's that a small amount of powder doesn't.

Yeah why don't we just turn the air we breath into biscuits and take a bite of the biscuit each time we need to take a breath.

There is no known powder that is inexpensive and has an energy content as great, per kilogram, as natural gas.

Sorry, but you are demonstrating a total lack of understanding of gas laws and chemistry in general.

Have you even given any rational thought to this question?
