gas range
I don't find that the burners give off much heat, but the oven does. Same goes for electric oven - they all have blowers nowadays that heat up the house a lot. I also have one of those countertop toaster/convection ovens. I use that a lot, especially when it's warm here. Just have to keep reminding myself that it cooks a lot quicker and cut the time to about 2/3 of what the recipe says.
Plus, not everything fits in it (the convection countertop), so don't do many big roasts, or ham except in cooler weather mostly. Don't do many big roasts anyway, except now looking for great crock pot recipes per this post.
Pizza needs to go in the regular oven. We use the grill outside many nights a week in nice weather. To us, it's important that the grill be located on the shady side of the house in the evening.
Anyone have a good brisket crock pot recipe?
