Good plan.
Most people are not aware that you can tap gas grills and small stoves into the main LP or propane tank with the right knowledge and adaptors. A 500 or 1000 gallon underground tank can provide energy for a very long time and save a lot of money over the 1 lb. and 20 lb. cylinders.
Obviously, it makes a lot more sense to seal off one or two rooms for nighttime use and just heat the space you need. Body heat of several people in one room is not insignificant either.
For lighting, LEDs are definitely the way to go. You can be assured of light with a ten-year shelf life on the lithiums like the 123s, or if you have a generator, use the rechargable lights or rechargeable AAs to power them.
