Did I say that I had a special stove to use only during outages?
(rereads post - nope, I didn't say that)

It's a dual-fuel stove. Gas burners, two electric ovens below. It's what
I use for cooking, every day.

It was purchased because we sometimes have power outages, it can take a
long time for repairs in a remote area like ours, and I want to be able
to cook even when I have no electricity.

We aren't on mains gas, so the cooktop is fed by a couple of tanks of
propane (with an automatic switch-over). Most new gas ovens won't work
without electricity, and they'd use up the gas more quickly, so we went
for gas on top, electric ovens on the bottom.

Same as me, gas hob and 2 electric ovens ... but separate.
