Because that has a charcoal filter and is the entire issue with gas ranges, they need to be vented outdoors…

Not sure what you’re saying here… The combo literally comes with a vented hood. It does vent outside, and comes with the vent for it.

You’re suggesting every unit be about 3-5k more just so it can used a cheap gas unit…? What…

I didn’t say every unit, or anything of the sort. I was just saying that a cheap gas stove is better to cook with than a cheap electric. I wasn’t talking about anything else, and made no other claims.

But since you want to go into other shit unrelated to what I was talking about about… Electricity costs more than natural gas in a lot of places. Here in AZ for instance the electricity to run an electric range costs a shit ton more than the equivalent gas (especially in the summer with higher grid load from A/C usage). If a house is already plumbed for it, switching to electric is just going to cost more for a worse experience. No one was ever talking about retrofitting a place without gas for it.
