(2,259 posts)Its why I bought a gas stove that had absolutely zero electronics on it except the igniter, which is necessary. But you can still start it with a match or a bic if necessary.
Ive finished my turkey roasting on Thanksgiving when the power went out. Powers out for how long? IDGAF because I can always cook on the gas stove.
If you live somewhere temperate with access to cheap hydropower, great, I get it. I live in the north country, the grid is not anything you want to depend on for your life, and gas with a wood stove still make a lot of sense up here.
As an aside, a friend recently bought one of the newer Hondas, and all of the higher technology electronics DO NOT WORK when it gets 20 to 40 below throughout the week. It has to be garaged or else it doesnt operate properly. Id love to have one of those Raptor F150 Lightnings, but I just dont think its been durability tested enough up here.
