[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]only problem that I see - power outages [/quote]

My gas does not work when the power is out.  When a house is heated by gas it takes electricity to blow that heat around. nearly All modern stoves have a electronic pilot light due to safty concerns. If your stove is very very old or if you  have  very very expensive french oven then your stove won't work by design when the power is out.

I do have gas and I like it, my only concern if my house were all electric is a house can be hard to heat when it gets really cold. I do have a cabin in the blue ridge and we have propane, but that is crazy expensive so we have electric heat. We do have a wood pellett stove, as the electric is not adequate when the temps drop very low. That stove lets out a TON of heat and heats the entire house. Might not be an issue these days here with global warming. WE do have a very spoiled feature, we have a gas line run out to our grill and never have to get propane tanks. I absolutly love that, but this is not a necessary luxury.

As far as cooking that's NBD, you can always buy an induction range. Those are great! My next range will be induction and we will rip out our gas.  [/quote]
