Just gonna weigh on the "buy induction because it is better" argument. Yes, it's true, it's also not an option in a lot of US homes built in the mid 20th century with gas appliances unless you can afford to have an electrician run a 220v circuit to the kitchen, and possibly upgrade your electrical service too.

If you're remodeling your kitchen you should 100% go induction (or mixed fuel if you really need gas for certain things). If you have to stick with gas, any modern range/oven with electronic ignition is probably fine. If you go with a less expensive model you can put the money you save towards an Alen 75i air filter to take care of the particulates created by burning gas.

Or you can just put a box fan in the window blowing out, which is what I will continue to do until I get around to remodeling the kitchen. (On days when the Clairton Coke Works is trying to suffocate the city it's better to keep the windows closed and enjoy those sweet, sweet natural gas fumes.)
