My preference would be a gas cook top but I think Angiefox10 is right.. Electric only in Sanibel.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

New villages are gas only but that does not mean you like it or live with it.
I plan to bury a tank. Electric may sweve well for some but, IMHO, once you have used gas there is not going back.

We cook with propane. What is the difference between that and natural?

Is burying a tank really an option? I hope so. Gots to have my gas.

Next I'm going to be looking for you in the cooking section to see if you are trading recipes.
Uh oh...someone may be in trouble...

Yes, you are allowed to bury a tank. The last gas range I purchase included the parts required to convert from natural gas to propane.

I thought I was the only one who didn't like black cooktops! I've had two black cooktops and I don't like them at all. But I keep inheriting them when I move. Even with the special cleaner, I find them very hard to keep clean. However luckily I rarely cook, and when I do, I usually use my Crockpot.
