Local here. You don't need a gas connection if your house is all electric. A lot of new houses are all electric already, some bigger builders already do all electric.

Some houses have fireplaces both gas or actual fireplaces. I have a gas fireplace but I don't use it as I have solar and electric heating so it's much cheaper than running the gas heater.

I guess you don't have a wok.

You can get a propane burner to use outside that has WAY more BTUs than anything on your cooktop. It's how you're supposed to cook on a wok to get that signature flavor. You can't really do it on an indoor gas range. Also that amount of fumes would be toxic indoors.

I do, I have a gas cooktop. My previous house had induction so using a wok was very different though.
