I live in a rural area. Electricity goes out for like a week pretty consistently every year.

I've got a propane generator, but running a stove off of it rather than just using the propane to run the stove seems silly. If power goes out for too long, I'll turn the generator off, be without electricity, but still be able to cook.

The health risks of propane seem pretty marginal to me. If I were going to try to change my energy sources for health reasons my wood heat setup would be much higher priority.

I'm not a gas stove purist but I just wanted to put forth a point which I don't see raised here- my cultural food is quite bit reliant on an open flame for things such as daily bread and the occasional vegetable or meat roasting. I have used an electric stove for it in the past but the results are nowhere close.

My entire country has only ever cooked on gas stoves as far as I know so I would love for this study to also be conducted in my country because I don't know where the adverse effects of gas stoves would have been manifesting in the people around me since I see most people here live full lives.
