Re: Gas stoves?
We are all electric here too. But i wish I would have put in a gas stove. I am going to install propane boilers for heat this summer. I think right now propane is like $1.80/gallon I heard from someone.

Would be nice to have a gas stove if the electricity went out. At least some source of heat.

Yup, gas stove gives you that option. We found that out in the '91 Halloween blizzard. Stayed warm melting snow on the stove & running an infrared LP heater. We already had gas forced air heat before we put our addition on in '08 then put floor heat in the addition & expanded the forced air into it as well. We added an electric boiler, an off peak electric water heater & off peak control on the central air a few years later to maximize the savings thru our electric co-op. We also ran a double-throw switch so we can run either a smaller gas/LP generator or hook up the 25 kw Onan to the tractor. We found after borrowing the neighbor's 5500 w portable for a few days that it didn't have enough capacity to run the electric water heater. Did run the well, forced air furnace & everything else just fine. Have a spare 100 lb. cylinder so keep eyeing LP portable generators but haven't pulled the trigger. Geo thermal may be a future consideration. Think our last fill of LP here just before Christmas was ~$1.90.

Re: Gas stoves?
I think lp is the best choice for a generator out in the country. The fuel doesn't degrade.

Re: Gas stoves?
I'm not sure electric is the answer either, the ones with electric only has gotten lucky without losing power at times ( heat not stove). As far as gas ranges go I guess it's the only appliance without a vent besides the hood that's if it's directed outside, lots are not. Last summer the strib had an article on this, for testing   they enclosed the kitchen and just left it. Even a new gas range range failed, I'll stick to electric and Busch lite to seal my fate!! Lol.

not  gas but propane

ugly looking fish house now
Looks like a home made cargo trailer ice house. It would be nice to know what they used for heat and how they had it set up?    :scratch: 
I used a vented propane heater in my hunting trailer I made, and it works great. Used it about 12 weekends now and I keep a bottle or soupy water to spray all the fittings down once in a while to test for leaks.   :happy1:
click-pic to see it up right.
