Got gas?

Not what you think.

At the end of the month, I'm having a guy come run a natural gas line from one side of my house (only thing NG in my house is the fireplace) up the outside, across the attic, and down an interior wall for a gas range.

I've cooked on gas before, but never owned... very, very excited to finally have a house with a gas cook top, but what are your experiences? I know the basics, like heat is immediate, less residual heat available, cook times are faster... but what else should I know?

Make sure you turn the knob all the way to the off position when done :-)



Came home to a house filled with gas before.

This.

For whatever reason, my wife can't smell the rotten egg smell of the natural gas additive. On several occasions I've come home to a house full of gas and an oblivious wife who didn't realize she was one lit cigarette away from blowing up the ****ing building.

Hmm. While I have no experience working with gas stoves, everything else that I have worked on with a gas valve has either a thermocouple or flame sensor to prevent this sort of thing. I find it odd that a gas stove wouldn't.

This happened to me on a older gas stove. The newer stoves could be equipped with thermocouple or a sensor not sure about older models. It was pretty bad, I smelled the gas outside about 10 ft away from the front door.

Right when I walked in I instantly got light headed. It was probably leaking by for about 6-7 hours.

Love cooking with gas. All of the benefits you mentioned are there and makes it so you hate cooking on electric when you have to cook elsewhere. The oven doesn't hold heat very well, though that could just be our (20 year old) stove. The stoves also tend to be simpler, making them more durable. Another thing, with ours, you can use the stovetop when the power is out by lighting the burner with a match.

I have a gas stove and hate it. However, it does come in handy when I want to light a cigarette and I can't find a lighter.

I have a dual setup I bought last year, so I got the best of both worlds. Gas stove with electric over. I had one of those electric flat top stoves and what a useless pile of garbage that was. If would scratch easily and If you had to heat up a 5 gallon SS pot, good luck. It would take so long to heat up the 5 gallon pot that I needed a shave by the time it would boil. I think you are going to enjoy your new setup.

Dual fuel is the way to go. I recently bought a new stove and gas wasn't an option. To run a gas line to my kitchen would be a major PITA.

I bought the best coil burner stove I could find and have been very happy.

I've cooked on both electric and gas burners and there are ways to make both work well. As has been said before, know your equipment.

We looked at several dual fuels but couldn't find anything I really liked until we moved into the >$4K range, which I'm not willing to spend on an oven just yet. So we're going about $1,200 on a decent (fully) gas with convection (and an on/off switch for the convection, which is an important feature for some applications).

Yeah, we are. It's something we've been saving for and decided to make the plunge because we figure to be in this house for a while. Our guy is figuring about 8 hours, actually (same estimate from two other guys, as well). The issue isn't running it up the side or through the attic, but there's no straight drop down to the kitchen.

This. Can't imagine going to an electric cook top. My next setup will be exactly what you have, gas top, electric oven.

I would love to have a gas stove. I just bought new pots and pans but I can't use them on a gas stove. I should've thought of that before I bought these pots and pans.
