We're real happy with it. Running on low it doesn't let any smoke or steam escape into the kitchen. I won't automate because I'm no electrician and I'm old so I avoid wiring like the plague. Besides when I'm standing at my gas stove to ignite a burner it's a simple matter to just reach up and...

A competitor of Thomas Edison's produced an incandescent bulb in 1900 and it's still burning in a fire station in California. https://www.lightbulbs.com/blog/worlds-oldest-light-bulb-that-still-works
