[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have gas anything in my house but...is it just the stove that's causing the issue?  Does the same concern come in to play when it's gas heat?  Or a gas hot water heater?  It says that the stove leaks gas even when it's off.  Is that not true for these other items as well?[/quote]

Well this is OP...all that stuff is in my basement where no one is on a regular basis. but I think the stove is unique in the constant leak aspect?[/quote]

No. The water heater and furnace have their combustion products vented outside through a flue. A gas range does not, it burns in the open kitchen. That's why some people say that it's important to have the vent fan on (and a real vent fan).

However, I think these health "concerns" that all popped up in the past couple years, after humans have been cooking on gas stoves since the mid-1800s, are 99.8% total bullshit, and completely irrelevant if you're not otherwise pre-disposed to some condition like severe asthma. It's motivated by climate activism, so make of that what you will

I have a gas stove, water heater, and furnace. I'd switch to induction if the stove broke, if we were renovating, assuming it's not prohibitively expensive to get an additional 240 V line to the stove.

Otherwise, I'm not worrying about it. [/quote]

Also...there is no "constant leak" from the stove. WTF are they talking about? [/quote]
