Except for the water heater and heater, which are both outside, our house is electric. We have a boat that had a propane stove and hubby said.....oh heck no! Replaced the stove with an electric cooktop and convection oven. If we’re out we use a marine bbq that’s fueled by the tiny propane tanks.
Just the other day my neighbor called me because she walked into daughters house and smelled a lot of gas. Apparently one of the babies turned the gas stove on full blast and the auto pilot didn’t light.
When I was little we used an old gas stove in the living room for heating. Think the only thing that saved us was you could see daylight around the doors and windows. Lol

Propane is much more dangerous than natural gas.

I love gas. Instant actual heat, whether for cold or cooking, and instant cooling on the stove when turned off, cooks better too, and doesn’t ruin the cookware by direct contact. Also works despite power outages (except newer pilot lights are often electric for “safety”...never mind if you freeze to death).

We have gas now except the oven for some reason. Wish I had gas in there too.
