I have done this with the stove and refrigerator.

This is also why landlords like electric stoves over gas.

I have learned that a lot of problems stem from poor communication, and this problem might mend itself if both of you understood each other. 

Now wants new stove, says this one not safe.

Hi @Jerry LoCocoNot sure if you found your answer yet, but here in Maine if you are looking for something ornate or something other than the big box store offerings, an independently owned stove shop is the way to go.

if its a upscale neighborhood then yes especially if everything is electric on the house, stove, heat, and hotwater.

If all totally goes to hell: we have a house, candles, wood stove, wood, food, and well for water.Others may not be able to put that all together, but they can buy some extra canned goods or pasta or cereal or rice, etc..I also have some concerns that food prices will go sky high.

There's a small area where there used do be a wood stove chimney going through it that I'll have to fix up, so that should give me a good opportunity to check out what's under them.

The sits over the stove kind?
