Why not just get a propane grill and cook outside if the power goes out?
Because the thing that knocks out the power is freezing rain / snow mixes. When that’s happening I conclusively prefer being inside.
And replacing my current setup with a similarly function primarily-electric setup would be expensive even ignoring my preference for being partially off-grid. Right now I don’t have 220V to my kitchen at all. Decent induction stoves aren’t cheap, especially with space constraints. My cookware is all appropriate for an open flame (e.g. cast iron, enameled cast iron) and while it may work with an induction setup it wouldn’t be optimal there.
