Gas vs electric oven, need advice!!

[lakestitcher]

Oh, how fun to find this site. I posted a message about this over on the Stitchers Guild and Lisa suggested I ask here. Now, duh, why didn't I think to look for a cooking forum???

Anyway, I think I'm getting a new stove for Christmas. I've always wanted a gas cooktop for the instant off/on heat, Hubby says if I really, really want it, he'll get it for me!! Yes ...... I really, really do!!

I don't have room for a  cooktop and  wall oven, mine has to be a stove/range. And the gas has to be propane, we live in the boonies!    But we already have gas for hot water so that's OK.

So, my question is: anyone have one of the dual fuel stoves??? Gas for the top and an electric oven?
I've always heard that the best oven is an electric and the "famous" chefs seem to like it that way. 
Or do you have a gas oven and love it??? What are your likes or dislikes about either one?

Any opinions appreciated! TIA!!

I've never had a dual fuel stove, so can't help you there.  It does seem like a good idea. 

We have a gas stove, with a gas oven, and so far we've replaced the oven part twice -and it isn't working again!  I finally gave up, and do all my baking in an electric roaster.  I can make everything but cookies, so it works for us.

Also, if I were to buy another gas stove, I would get one with an electric ignition system.  I detest the pilot lights, and if one blows out the smell of gas makes everyone here sick very quickly.

It seems like a great idea to me.  I love cooking with gas on the stovetop but I cannot stand a gas oven.  Unless they've been greatly improved since I last had one.  I hope to hear how this works out!
