As far as propane - you have to convert a standard gas stove to operate on propane and it doesn't operate like a gas stove as the pressure varies with the decreasing tank pressure. Also, you have to hide the propane tank. We have a propane tank here in Norcal and it only serves the stove (my wife insisted she had to have gas) and we can't get anyone to provide a large tank because of the small amount of usage, so we use a 5 gallon tank and have to watch it closely so it doesn't run out when she is baking or cooking.

It's all a matter of personal preference and there really isn't a right or a wrong. My mother and grandmother could prepare incredible meals on a wood stove. It doesn't get too much more difficult to regulate the heat than that.
In TV the propane tanks are underground. The only thing visible is a small dome. The tanks are something like 120 or 150 gallons. Pretty good size.
We've lived in parts of the country where most everyone, including us, used electric stoves and in other places where most everyone used gas. Our present home in New York has oil heat and propane for the stove and dryer. The propane works fine for us here. The first appliances were converted and installed by the builders guy. Since then in the 33 years we've owned this home, I've converted and installed several dryers and stoves myself. It isn't difficult. You just have to know what you're doing.
Propane isn't for everyone but the option is there for someone who really wants gas.
