Far too many people have come to believe the lie that methane gas ("#NaturalGas"
) stoves and ranges "burn clean."
They do not.
You need an exhaust hood that dumps the polluted air outside and a fresh air intake, like a cracked window.
Better yet, ditch the gas and get an induction range / electric oven. They're easier to clean too!
