I knew a guy who took the risk of having a small indoor propane tank (illegal and dangerous) for the same reason.

Cool story bro, and not at all telling.

I get that for some who have to rely on a 120v might have a bad experience cooking on a poor electric stove, but having 230v outlets and double that for high power connections, my stove is plenty powerful enough.

I would prefer flame for some things, but not so much that I'd trust the general public to not blow shit up accidentally.

I didn't say that was a good idea... The point I was trying to make is that having a gas stove really is important to many people. It's not just an "own the libs" thing.

I'd agree that a lot of people might feel it's important, even when it's not, and even when they can't even express why they feel it's important.
