When we bought our house in 2007 it came with a lovely gas (propane) stove. The house was 8 years old. Well, a couple of weeks ago it kicked the bucket - that would be after almost 20 years. It was white, as is our new fridge. Do you know how hard it is to get a white gas stove that's the size you want? Long story short, we had to get a stainless steel one. I picked it out from Trail Appliances, went to Annacis Island to pick it up. When I got home with it, Chris unpacked it and we got it all set up. As he was looking to hook up the gas I was flipping through the manual. Hold the phone - it was "natural gas" not propane!!!! Already we had been without a stove for 4 days. Now we had to get it converted to propane!!!. We had to call the island appliance guy. On Valentines day. Well he needed a part they don't sell on Bowen. So 3 days later we had the stove working. Bowen Island does not have Natural gas - plain and simple. Apparently most of the gas stoves are sold for Natural Gas which is all over Vancouver and the continent, but not our island. Good think is that they are easily converted to propane. Thank goodness for that. The new stove!
