    I live in the US and I’ve never been in a house or apartment with a gas stove. Maybe they’re more common up north where they use gas for heating.

      They’re very common in the north east. I think I’ve lived in more places with gas stoves than electric.

      They’re pretty common in more rural areas. My parents live rural California and they lose power for at least a week every year. A gas stove is a must.

        Sorry, obviously not from the US. Is a week per year every year without energy common in rural areas? In Germany that would be outrages. On the other hand, Germany is small compared to the US.
