Yeah, I want one of those, too. I think it fits different needs, though. Stove vs grill.

A gas furnace won’t keep you warm when the power is out, either. I will say a camp stove feeds just as well as a regular stove, after all, how often are you using more than 2 burners simultaneously?

I think there are some municipalities with that in code, but it’s definitely not universal in the US.

I live in a house with a gas stove that vents into my kitchen.

I definitely hear you about the coffee roasting. I assumed when they said that it smokes that it would just be like thin wisps, and I definitely smoked out my house. I’m not going to do it inside again.

For a lot of these large scale, epidemiological findings, it’s important to remember that the effects are small enough that you pick them up on a population level over a lifetime. I’d say that if you can, find a way to properly vent your stove outside if you are doing some home improvement. If you are replacing your stove, consider induction instead, and in the meantime, having an air purifier is good. Opening a window is probably also good. Other than that, I wouldn’t be super alarmed. Obviously, if you have little kids or something, you might have a lower tolerance for potential pollution, but it’s good to think about these things in context. Alcohol causes cancer, but everyone still drinks.

I think the people who claim gas stoves are best likely grew up either not cooking much, or had a decent gas stove, so their first exposure to an electric stove was super cheap, crappy electric coil stoves in student housing, or wherever they first lived as a young adult. Then when they were able to afford better, they got a better gas stove.

I have a really crappy gas stove, and it makes me yearn for the cheap electric coil stoves of my youth.

People say that gas stoves are more powerful and responsive, when the truth is that more powerful stoves are more powerful, and “responsiveness” is a fake concern. My crappy gas stove takes forever to get a pot of water boiling, especially compared to coil stoves. Yeah, you can turn a gas stove to 100% quickly, but that’s only better if it can put out more power. It won’t heat up any faster than an electric stove if the electric stove takes double the time, but also has double the power. There’s also not many cases where “time to maximum heat” is what you care about, I can’t think of any.

Responsiveness the other way (hot to cool) doesn’t matter when you have a high thermal mass in the pan (or the pan itself has high mass), it only matters when the pan and contents are light, in which case, you just take the pan off the heat.

I’ve never seen a gas stove with temp control. I’m not even sure how that would work. Controlling the amount of gas, sure, but not the temperature. In an induction stove, you can set it to 150 degrees, and it will hold that.

Or they have a fan that just redirects the exhaust into the house

A $50 dual burner camp stove solves that (or even cheaper, a $12 single burner backpacking stove if you have less space).

Never seen something like this?

It’s a pain in the butt cause all it does is suck up any smoke and direct it towards your smoke detector.

Yeah, a coleman (or equivalent) 2 burner camp stove combined with the adapter to use a full size propane tank is super handy. Combine it with a cast iron griddle, and you can functionally replicate a Blackstone for much much cheaper. It’s also way better for high heat cooking if you don’t have a good stove fan that actually vents outside.

Also, sometimes when power goes out, gas does too (it’s still a grid that can fail).

Correction, NASA launched a mission contracted to Intuitive Machines, who used SpaceX as the delivery vehicle.

Saying “SpaceX launched a mission” in this case is like saying “AT&T made a phone call” in reference to someone calling their friend.

The wording is important, because it furthers the notion that a private company is out there doing exploration research by themselves, but it’s really an ecosystem stemming from taxpayer funding and public sector direction.

Dont buy “butcher block oil”, though, because it’s weirdly upcharged for just plain mineral oil. The pharmacy sells food grade mineral oil for way cheaper as a laxative, but it’s literally the same.
