Is Electric cookn' m0ar efficient in the Winter?

m0ar covid-era thoughts.

If Tp4 runs dat gas,  he also has to turn on the vent-hood.

The vent pumps <heat> from the <house>,  which used even "m0ar gas" from the Furnace.

Using electric cook, "assuming not dep-fryzing",   All the heat is released into the surrounding,  and no loss from the vent.


Any gekha Hvac thoughts?

Vents suck out a considerable amount of heat. If they vent into an attic space you are losing less than if they vent into the great outdoors.

Tangentially - Many people love fireplaces but don't realize that the great majority of the heat is going straight out the chimney.
"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.

if you are talking only about energy that you can control you electric stove will be far more efficient at heating your house than anything else, it is as close as 100% efficiency as you can get, if you are talking cost, then it is unlikely that your stove will beat your gaz heater. and for electricity i have read that in the US a lot of it still comes from gaz anyway, so you likely get overall lower efficiency if it is the case.
