Gas stoves fill the air in your home with particulate matter (pm), which has been found to increase cancer risk in the long term.

So next time you buy a stove, consider choosing an induction stove.

Btw, gas stoves being better or faster than induction is a myth. They have certain specific advantages, but they are actually slower.

    When the power goes out in sub zero temperatures, and your heating does too, it helps to be able to make hot water on the stove to warm up.

    Otherwise, yeah induction is better.

      A $50 dual burner camp stove solves that (or even cheaper, a $12 single burner backpacking stove if you have less space).

        Typically those shouldn’t be used indoors though, right? Usually a gas stove will have ventilation, but no gas stove, then likely not enough ventilation and you’ll need to step outside or crack a window to cook with gas.

          My manual says:

          DO NOT USE IN CARAVANS, TENTS, MARINE CRAFT, CARS, MOBILE HOMES OR SIMILAR LOCATIONS

          So i guess you can use it indoors, but I definitely don’t.
