Reply With QuoteI prefer a gas stove and an electric oven....
if you run out of gas you can still use the oven, if the electricity goes down you can use the stove.
I think gas offers better control over most electric stovetops.

I'm sorry that this isn't terribly Rover specific, but....
I'm just about to start building a house and one of the many dilelmas is what stove to install.
The area doesn't have gas, but I thought that people generally used to think that gas was the way to cook as it had instant control.
Is this still the case in comparison to ceramic cooktops? and is it worth having bottle put onto the house just for gas cooking? ok, and maybe the bbq also.
I guess this brings another question, has induction stoves now made gas cooking obsolete now?

Thats a really good point Dave! Its out of town also, so power outages may not be fixed as quickly as more urban places either.

I had to look up what they were!
They look cool and remind me a lot of the Falcon stoves also in their styling. Although the house is in the country it's a more contemporary design. It does have a wood heater, but I'm not sure if I want to be splitting to cook meals aswell.

And hot water.
Suppliers will give you two bottles. When one runs out change over bottles and order a refill.
Swaggie
Hi Ian, thanks for this. That'll be good running the 2 bottles so that there is no down time on the stove. The HWS is a solar with electric boost, though it'd be interesting to know if they do gas instant to top up the temps. As I understood it the gas HWS's chop through a bit of gas and its not all that economical to use on bottle.

SubscriberYou won't find a lot of choice in gas ovens these days. Most manufacturers of gas cook tops match them up with electric ovens.
Forget about topping up the temp of your solar HWS with bottled gas. The only way I may consider bottled gas for hot water would be to use one of the instantaneous gas heaters - that way you are not heating stored water which you may not need.
