Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire All electric......

I think that is probably on their radar, just have not been thrown out to the public yet.

And they'll expand it to ensure you can only use the range via solar panels.

There are already places in urban areas that ban wood stoves.. Next will be fireplaces...




Nah - they'll just add severe regulations regarding air quality ventilation requirements that'll ad millions to the cost of operating a restaurant...

Both my rentals and my house are plugged in for both gas and electric. The rentals use gas dryers, heating, and electric stoves. House is all gas.

I fixed one (electric) yesterday. Maybe. Indicator light would not turn off when the burners were off. Found the right switch (thank you U-Tube- next to be banned?), pulled all the wiring to it to run the multi-meter (just shutting off the power didn't reset it), and for some reason that opened the indicator contact again. When I reconnected things pending ordering a new switch, it's working again. For now.

I don't like working with electric chit- I don't understand it well enough to be comfortable beyond very basic...... But it beats paying some bozo $150/ hour - at least before the fire.....

Fairbanks sits in a bowl, with an inversion problem. They have if not out-right banned wood, at least they severely discourage it. When I was at UAF in early 70s, 50 below weather would result in "ice-fog" pollution downtown so thick one could barely see the stop light glow in mid-intersection from the curb. So, some places, it makes sense.

The study had an agenda. Ban fossil fuels. Our house had an option for gas line to kitchen and dryer in addition to the 220, we took it. Dont forget the gas water heater

This is nonsense. You may have had a bad experience with that one stove, but by no means should you need a $5k stove to cook on. My gas stove/oven slide in was $1300 bucks 6 years ago. None of the issues you say have been seen on my end. I have had gas ovens/stove tops for more than 50 years. None of them were "high end"

I will concede an electric oven seems to maintain the selected heat better than gas. However, I pulled out the electric wall oven from our current house 26 years ago.

I am assuming you just quickly scanned over what I wrote and missed what I said and that you don't have comprehension issues or dyslexia. I said I would not spend less than $1K on a gas stove. You spent $1300 on a stove. Don't mean to be captain obvious here but $1300 is more than $1k. The k means thousand. I never said you need to spend $5k on a stove. I said high end stoves start at $5k. That was in reference to the high end stoves they put in the dream homes.

Almost Every restaurant, especially the high end Michelin stars, around the world cook on gas

Cooking on electric ranges, especially the flat tops sucks

Maybe if I paid as much as I could afford for an electric one I could find one that works as well as gas. In other words, I could see what amount of heat was going to the pan instead of relying on inaccurate knobs which don't mean the same thing for burners of the same size?

I'd rather cook on a Coleman propane stove than the electric (Westinghouse) we have.

A "medium" flame, adjusted on similar burners is still a medium flame. Medium on electric stoves has no meaning as scheidt might burn on one burner and barely simmer on the other.

The only reason I mentioned "high end" is because those TV shows aren't going to show what regular folks put in their houses. As I said, most anyone I know who has cooked on gas prefers them to electric..................except now I know you don't.
