Grew up in SE Michigan in the 50-60's. I remember the advertising "gas is best".
Cultured gas...

I used to be a smoker. In the mid 90s, as the antismoking bandwagon was picking up steam, and my youngest was a toddler, I, with some other parents, used to sit outdoors by the wading pool of the Tokyo American pool and smoke while the kids splashed away.
One day the club issued a new regulation banning smoking by the wading pool.
I wrote an email to the club GM asking why, since the pool was outside and I could see little danger of forcing anyone to inhale our smoke outdoors. He replied that some members had complained about smoking by the wading pool, said that it bothered them, and asked for the ban.
I wrote back and asked that inasmuch as some members, myself among them, were unhappy about the painful and unsightly exposure of too much flesh by overweight busybodies in too skimpy bathing suits by the side of the wading pool, would the club kindly consider banning such unsightly behavior so as not to offend us?
The GM wrote back politely that he would consider my comments. (Never heard any further about it though.)
Grew up with gas but everything from the first trailer on has been electric.
No problems cooking stove top since we mostly use cast iron but the coil WILL make my toast look funny.

But a true craftsman does not use poor tools. I use a lot of tools in building ML rifles that are from the 19th century.
But, to get on topic, I prefer gas stoves. I even like the gas ovens better than the electric ovens, but that is a close call.
My favorite burner...

Gas always.

Composting is becoming a thing.I'm getting in the bin with the leaves
There are some services where you're compost is used as the soil for a sapling.....
Don't know about you, but if there's something that'll result in a haunted forest, that's probably it.
Thanks for the link. Seems they sealed the area around the stove with plastic sheeting and turned it on.
"Our data suggest that families who don't use their range hoods or who have poor ventilation can surpass the 1-h national standard of NO2 (100ppb) within a few minutes of stove usage, particularly in smaller kitchens." (Italics mine)
...and the Sun rises in the East. Open flame, no ventilation, no kidding.

Gas is the best!
I knew people as a kid who still cooked and heated with wood. Now that I'm a decent cook and baker,I think it would be a hoot to try one of those old stoves. I'll leave the cutting,splitting and stacking to someone younger though ;-)
... are idiots.

I think it's Wolfgang Puck with a restaurant in DIA that cooks with wood.

Sticking one's head in an electric oven rarely gives the intended result.

Commercial for Xcel power company shows them getting their power from solar,wind and water.
I guess that power plant in Northern Colorado is just processing all that coal for shipment to China.
