Our home came with a gas stove. Was ready to get rid of it once it died. But a few years ago, there was a multi-day electrical outage. The stove could still be lit with a match, so we could at least have warm water to wash and cook.
Local utility has also been jacking up electricity prices (30% last time). Suspect people want to keep their gas stoves for the sake of reliability and cost, despite pollution concerns.
Meh. That's what I have a propane grill with side burner for. I converted to induction 2y ago after being a gas-only zealot for years. I'll never leave induction now!
My solution to that is to maintain a camping stove and a connector to a 20lb propane tank. You can cook for a couple weeks with that if need be, but don't have to breathe the fumes on a routine basis.
Camp stoves that run on propane tanks you buy at the grocery store or run on “white” gas are great emergency preparedness devices.
Whoa now! be careful on what you add " to.. /s
