southern county gas replaced the appliances w no pilot ones . flash foreward to where i am now in a all electric apartment. 2nd floor . when the power goes out (sometimes 3 days hasnt done that in a while btw.)the elevator goes out and cant cook. so i have foods that i dont need to cook. we have an electric range . the oven part dosent bother me , but, the curley q elements do. thats 220 volts exposed . eek. if we get new stoves id rather have the flat kind .
