Those of you who’ve used both, what do I need to know about the difference?

    One perk i haven’t seen mentioned yet… gas ranges still work when the power is out. If you live in outage prone areas, this can come in handy.

    Will your oven run on gas too? I recommend an oven thermometer so you know if 350 is really 350.

      Very good point. Just remember that the starter is usually electric so you still need a lighter.

      Maybe. My gas stove is an older low end model but the oven is electrically controlled: I can’t use it without electricity. The stovetop is fine, since the electric ignition works on gas flow and the knobs physically turn a valve, but that’s not true of all stoves
