We live a lifestyle similar to yours.

The bigger problem you have is if the grid goes down or there’s an EMP. All that modern junk becomes worthless.

I suggest just trying to sell your current POC and get an all mechanical/analog range even if you have to buy an antique. We used a 40 year old gas range for about 10 years that worked perfectly and sold it last year for $150. The one we have now is all mechanical except for the igniters. When the power goes out we use matches to light the burners.

The grid goes down, or an EMP and your range is the least of your problem. In two months you will be boiling snow for water over a jet stove made out of a tin can.

The old ranges had burners and that’s about it.
