Natural gas?

Some Californians have functional brains, we're in the minority for sure.

Oh, I get it. When we stayed at Angles Camp for a couple of weeks, really no different than living in NC talking with the locals, particularly about guns. I was actually kind of surprised to be honest with you.

If the state of Jefferson ever came to be, and they could work on their cost of living and taxes, heck, I'd support them and even think about moving there (although I know it will never happen).

Mexican food out there was the best I ever had, but man, but it's not cheap vs what I was use to LOL

I can tell you how much better the indoor air quality got. It was a lot. Of course, if one has a typical California home with 2,000cfm of air movement through the house, it might be round off error.

I used to cook in large industrial kitchens, and while I miss the enormous power of those 100,000+BTU burners, I think that there is no comparison between a residential gas stove and induction stoves. Induction stoves heat faster, sear better, boil water more quickly, with very fine heat control, and without the combustion products and gummy deposits from frying fats near a gas flame. I think that the only slight downside for me is that the pots are heavier, so I can see why elderly folks with hand issues or frailty might not enjoy turning in some lightweight aluminum pots for induction compatible pots.

But that's just me.

All the best,

I don't want gas appliances in my house as was stated in my earlier post, but I think HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) would take care of any indoor air quality issues due to gas flame in the house.

We have had that in our house for 25 years now.

Be careful to not scratch the glass, as that weakens it.
I'm on propane, the gas cooktop does not use much. And I'll never worry about breaking the cast iron grates.

Been using it for 15 years. I don't worry about how to use it. Works and looks like new.

Put as hood over any cooktop, no matter the fuel. And it MUST be vented to the outside. Then add make-up air if needed for larger hoods. Air quality issue solved, no matter the fuel. Cooking generates fumes. Period. And sometimes you burn stuff. I agree with @rontaki that the gas stove air quality controversy is manufactured on this topic.
