[–] Coconut1233@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (8 children) How often are yall getting power outages? permalink fedilink source hideshow 16 child comments replies: [–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago Regardless of that, higher end modern gas stoves won't allow you to use the stovetop during a power outage anyway even if you match light them, because they have electronic flame presence sensors for safety. And no modern gas range or gas oven with electronic oven controls will allow you to use the oven without power. permalink fedilink source parent [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago A couple days a year typically, between hurricanes, tornadoes and winter ice storms. permalink fedilink source parent [–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* Every month or so. Every two if I'm lucky permalink fedilink source parent [–] projectsquared@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago Once a year maybe? Almost always due to storm damage. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 1 point 7 months ago We had maybe one in the past 12 years where I live. A lot of people around me have had more, but my house specifically hasn't had a major one that I can recall. We've been thinking about switching away from gas stove eventually. permalink fedilink source parent [–] daq@lemmy.sdf.org 1 point 7 months ago One long enough to be worth considering in the last 7 years. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 7 months ago (1 child) the question might be more properly phrased as: what is better, using electricity + backup power generator, or using gas stove in the first place? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago (1 child) A backup power generator that will run a household stove is kind of a tall order; most of the portable gasoline models on the American market won't put out 220v. I've got an electric stove, and I've got a backyard grill that runs on propane and propane accessories. Ain't no power outage gonna starve me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago and I’ve got a backyard grill yeah that's what i meant with "backup generator" :-) permalink fedilink source parent [–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 point 7 months ago I've had one in the past 2 years. permalink fedilink source parent
