  If you have a gas stove you really shouldn’t be using it without the fan running.

  A power outage is one of those times as people are tempted to use it more and for longer if it’s the easiest source of heat.

    When I lived in Pittsburgh many years ago, we had a full blizzard come through and our furnace went out in our “nice neighborhood/slumlord landlord” house. Benzene or no, the stove and oven kept us from freezing.

  If you want to heat air and move it around you’re gonna want a fan, which will need electricity. My gas heat is no good when the power is out.
