Hours of scrubbing to get black baked on crap off. And they painted the grills light gray to show off the dirt no doubt.

I really don't care if it's gas or electric. I've used both through out my life time.

In my drafty farmhouse they have a gas stove and electric oven, along with a gas fireplace and electric heat pump. The electricity is not so reliable around here. It goes out with a strong wind. So, the huge underground propane tank gets filled once every 8 to 10 years and serves as a heat and cooking back up.

Just to let folks know that if they live in TN and have an in-ground, attached tank, there is no sales tax on the rental.
