>-Propane stoves still work when the power is out. The first thing I did when I moved in was add that propane generator and a stove.

Propane stove tops will work - but new propane ranges (at least the oven portion) will not work due to the igniters requiring electric power and also some sort of safety device. If you buy a new propane range that is still manual light pilots then no worries at all :)

No argument from me - I just got rid of said old piece of junk for a new range - things i miss from old piece of junk - it heating up a good portion of the house due to it not being insulated compared to a new range.. ahahaahhaha, and of course, no electronics. :)
