It's a mistake if you don't listen to the answers. Electric versus gas
has nothing whatsoever to do with your roasting problem. BTUs are
BTUs. Get an oven thermometer, use it to see when the oven has reached
the desired temperature. Shopping for a different appliance is stupid
until you have determined whether the existing oven is working
properly. Is that plain enough for you? -aem
