roxell120: those who say gas is better, do u like beans a lot like me nd cook it without potassium?


Not only cooking beans. Im surprised nobody has mentioned the very high initial cost of using gas. I just bought a 2 burner gas cooker last week for N7500 and im about to buy the cylinder at the rate of N8000. Now add those to the price of gas which goes for N3300 in my area, then you will know its more expesive to use gas in the short run at least.It doesnt cost you more than N2000 to begin using kerosine stove.Maybe in the long run gas can be economical.

Krisgift: kerosene smoke in her eyes ke? I'v never seen such.mayb na una stove.lol
That is what his sharp wife must have told him so he can buy her a brand new gas cooker with gas cylinder. A good kerosene stove burnin with a blue flame will have little smoke and fumes

Gas for sure.
Last 2months, my friend and i used kerosine but it doesn't last so we started using gas.
Gas is faster than using kerosine.

nikky truth: Gas is cheaper . I use my 5kg for the whole semester . But Gas is more dangerous. Pls if you are the carefree type, pls use kerosene. If u must use gas , u have to be extra careful.

Well said bro, this is one of the reasons I use kerosene. Although gas is economical than kerosene, I have seen and heard of fire accidents caused by gas and I do not wanna experience it. if u are d only one using it or u know u can monitor it's usage then u can use it.

Gas is undoubtedly cheaper and better to use BUT PLEASE IF YOU HAVE KIDS OR GROWING CHILDREN OR THE CAREFREE TYPE, ON A VERY SERIOUS NOTE, PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS(GAS). We should not only concentrate on the economics of using gas but should also consider the grave risk associated with gas cooking.

Gas is by farrrrrrrrrrrrrr more cheaper, but the poverty didnt allow many to know this in nigeria. imagine kerosene is aviation fuel, how can it be cheaper

Re: Cooking With Gas Or Kerosene, Which Is Cheaper (economical)? by dguyindcorner(m): 11:22am On Oct 03, 2013
When i see this topic i was more than happy considering the fact that there are so many things that are oblivious to most nigerians about using gas to cook.Many think:

-gas is very dangerous
-gas is expensive
-gas is meant for the elite

although gas is uncontroversially dangerous becoz of the flammability rate i.e. extremly flamable but talking as a user now,it was before the rate of fire accident as a result of gas is very high but now that has reduced tremendously,why? becoz most regulator i.e. standard is now being designed in a way that if there's any leak in the hose supplying gas from the valve to the gas cooker,the regulator will stop supplying gas from the cylinder becoz the only way there can be explosion is wen the gas is leaking.

And most new gas cookers is designed in an automatic manner i.e. you don't need matches to ignite fire anymore thereby reducing the risk.

Before selling to our customers these are wat we tell them,so be wise in buying.
Usually,wen you are buying for the first time,it myt cost u some headache but after that the rest is as cheaper as pure water
To add,you can never use gas and dream of using kerosene stove again,it is very rare!
