Most of those areas use propane (with ~100 to ~500 gallon refillable tank) instead of natural gas, but the stoves are still the same. My parents, sister, and grandmother all have propane stoves.
We had an electric stove, but the water and central heating were gas. That way we still had heat if the power went out so the pipes wouldn’t freeze and we could wash things. If the power went out more frequently we might have gone with a gas stove too.
Wait, really? You’re telling us there are rural areas with unreliable electricity, yet are piped for gas?

That is exactly what I was thinking of.
