Ventilation is key.

Always had electric. The idea of gas always bothered me

She just has to put in another log.

Wood, Tricky to cook on !

One more made up “issue” for Republicans to weaponize and LIE about.

Use your second amendment rights to keep Biden from confiscating your precious gas kitchen stove and patio grill.

Our family prefers gas, but a nice induction stove won’t make me cry. Especially since we have solar.

Ohio republicans just mandated natural gas as green energy. I do like it better that the coal furnace we had when I was a kid. Turned to snow outside black. Republicans used to care about pollution but now they only care about getting absolute power over everyone and everything and taking total control.

I figured out why the Republicans want Gas stoves to be banned. So we can all switch back to using Coal and Wood as fuel.

I had to get into this website version of the cartoon because the e-mailed one was too blurred to read. It seems like a lot of today’s e-mailed cartoons were rather blurry.

I remember my aunt’s farm in Southern Missouri. They had this wood burning kitchen stove and it was always hot or fairly warm in the summer as well as winter but the smell was wonderful.

It should be of concern to people with respiratory issues

The child might not be as safe as he could be if he has asthma or other respiratory illnesses.

You do not need an induction stovetop. I bought a single induction burner which I placed on my glass cooktop. It’s light weight and I can move it anywhere.

Nutzis produce so much bullsh*t they cook on dried dung

I worked for a gas company before it got bought out by an electric company. The electric company had a couple of coal-fired plants. How the environment was affected by the coal-fired I’m not sure, my boss assured me that it was all just wonderful. I had my doubts. But as far as gas stoves were concerned, I haven’t had many problems. Leaks can be a problem on old stoves, we had to get rid of one. It’s like a lot of things, if you take care of an appliance and observe safety protocols you should be fine. Of course, humans are all too human.

Gas or electric, yadda yadda they both get the job done.

Speaking of gaslighting, the natural gas industry loses of methane during production and delivery approach 20% making natural gas dirtier than coal. Climate Chaos during the next El Nino will be catastrophic. Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry? Or when your house gets washed away in the mudslide.

The issue of gas stove’s pollution is a red herring to take your mind off the evil going on in Congress. No taxes for the rich, no safety-net for the poor, no Social Security for those who have paid into the fund their whole lives, no ethics for members of Congress!

When you have a gas stove, you BETTER have a carbon monoxide detector.

Woodburning. Good job.OT: My step-daughter and her husband are considering moving to a larger home (they live in Eastern Idaho). Currently they own a townhouse with 3 bedrooms and a 3rd child is on the way. Their kitchen is an AEK as are most in the region. Every home in their price range has either a coal or woodburning stove in it. I’ve never seen one of those. Cooked with gas my whole life except during a stint in the Bay Area.

… Because wood and coal burn so much cleaner.

My wood stove saves me LOTS of money during the Winter on my heat bill!

Gas wasn’t a huge problem in old houses, those houses were so drafty, the air changed every few minutes. The new tight houses are where the problem of ‘’indoor air pollution’’ is making us cough and wheeze.

On the plus side, you can’t set your clothing on fire with an induction stove. The stove itself doesn’t get hot, the pan does.

Next summer. I’m getting an induction Barbeque grill. You just stick a 16 penny nail into the hot dog or 3 nails into a burger. Remember to remove nails before consuming.

A serious safety comment … if you have gas appliances, please have a working Carbon Monoxide detector. If no detector, get one. Install as indicated.

An electric stove will never develop a gas leak and cause an explosion, so there’s that.

They knew about this 30 years ago already. They then as now don’t know what to do about it.

Funny that “everyone” alive today is due to food cooked by your ancestors at some point.. over a wood/dung burning stove/fire.

Love the cat’s expression at the table.

Gas stoves do create undesirable pollutants. It has long been known that houseplants do poorly in a gas stove home. But.. in the big picture, a risk most folk accept in exchange for the convenience of gas. Living in a city.. most likely exposes you to far more pollutants than your gas stove.

Yes, I know that “science” says expired/unused prescription medications dumped into sewer systems wind up in the ocean and result in significant harm/death to life there.

But this little bottle of pills I’m holding (there are less than a dozen left in it!) has so few remaining that it is probably impossible they could cause any negative outcomes for the fishes and such.

So what is the harm if I dump them down my toilet here? (flush) Besides, it is a whole lot of trouble to find a place that accepts and safely disposes of unused medication, and I’m really busy.

I have a life, you know!

My grandma loved her old wood stove even winning baked goods ribbons at the county fair with it. When the county finished providing rural utilities in 1963 my grandpa built her a new farmhouse gas, electric and indoor plumbing. She never could get used to the gas stove/oven though so he then built her a summer kitchen with her old wood stove so she could continue winning ribbons frying chicken and baking the best homemade biscuits you could ever taste.

Professional chefs prefer to cook on gas stoves as it is easy to visually regulate the intensity of the heat at different levels. I am not a cook or a chef and only know this from interviews with chefs.

That looks like a wood-fired or coal stove. Pretty bad, as well.

I would imagine a wood stove would be even more polluting.

In the 50s we had a gas stove that was also a heater. Everyone on the street was switching to electric due to discounts. But when the Nor’easter’s hit. Folks lined up at our door to get their supper cooked.

Many years ago, I was quite disappointed when my grandmother gave up her wonderful old coal stove and got an electric one. She could do magic with that coal stove.
