My Wife Refuses To Cook With Charcoal Stove! by bigpicture001(op): 9:51pm On Jan 22
Because of the high cost of energy, I barred her from overly use of electric hot plate, also gas finishes so fast.. all these are draining the family maintainance resources..

So I deviced a means to bring down the cost of energy by purchasing gokpo charcoal stove.. it's a new kinda charcoal stove that doesn't fume, it's clean energy and also burns faster..

Just that u need to infuse charcoal enough and cook straight hours so u can exchaust the charcoal, lest it won't stop burning inside..

Believe me, it doesn't darken pot nor fume..

By she has refused to use it, claiming I am taking her to olden days and causing lots of stress..

Okay I suggested she start to part pay the cost of cooking energy if sh must stick with her choice.. but sh has not filled gas since then nor part pay the huge NEPA bill that comes monthly..

Abeg wetin I go do for this case

1. Well, she has a valid point there. Why should she have to take on additional stress all in order that you can save yourself from the stress of having to do more to afford the bills? I mean, you are trying to give her more work to do because you don't want to have to do more work as a provider. That ogboju dem dey call that one. 🥱🥱🥱

2. What reason would you have to suggest she do that, though? Anyways, you could always divorce your wife and go find yourself a cheaper woman who wouldn't mind cooking using charcoal and taking on all the stress that goes along with it. Alternatively, you can take over cooking duty in your home so you can handle the stress all by yourself instead of stacking on to the stress your wife already has to deal with. 🥱🥱🥱

How much energy does cooking a meal really use? Are you guys cooking banquets? You’re not saving much money by not cooking so check where else the energy is going. Do you have a washing machine? Are you using AC? Are you leaving lights on when nobody is in the rooms? Are you watching tv/playing games/on the computer? Cooking isn’t the issue so find the issue!

If your financial abilities are so brittle that you’re forced to revert to the bronze age to boil water, the problem isn't the stove it's your subnormal intelligence. you’ve spent your life as a beta version of a man and now your family is hitting a bottleneck because you can't afford a basic pressurized gas cylinder.

Instead of ranting on a forum for sympathy you should be optimizing your revenue stream. your wife wants efficiency and you’re offering her soot. if I were her, i’d have initiated a hard reset on the marriage.

I hope you and your wife don't have kids because it would be totally sputum.

By a gas cylinder for her...that's wisdom! Leave charcoal alone.
Re: My Wife Refuses To Cook With Charcoal Stove! by Mercury12(m): 5:26am On Jan 23
Tell her you had a terrible dream about a explosion in your home while cooking. Find one unknown man to act as prophet and also tell her his vision about a gas explosion that she should be careful and stay off it for a while.


If I hear say she no believe enh!!!
infact say goodbye to gas and electric cooker in your home. But watch out, if you not at home she is likely to dash your gas cylinder to aboki condemn iron buyers roaming the streets if u follow my advice

Sometimes i do use fire-wood to cook at my backyard.
Just to cut expenses.

OP, but its not all the time she will be using charcoal na. You want to send her back to "stone age!"

1. Make more money. Money is almost everything. I am a family man and I can tell you, the importance of money in a family can never be over emphasized.

2. By-pass! Yes. You need to get a good technician to help you achieve that. I by-pass Ed too. You must device a means to survive in this country if you really want to stay healthy and sane. You can do most of your cooking at night when the power company guys have all resigned for the day.

3. Make sure to use the gas only when absolutely necessary. Times like when you need to cook and there's power outage or when what you want to cook is best prepared on a gas cooker.

4. Money is absolute. My brother, running a home takes the Grace and Mercy of God. Just make more money. When I see someone complain about the economy, in all honesty and humility, I just tell them the solution to it is just to make more money or even way more money. While at it, please do not do anything ungodly or illegal. Cheers Bro.

You encouraged him not to do anything illegal but same you still encouraged him to bypass his meter. What kind of hypocrisy is this?

Can't you do the cooking? Go out there and look for a cheap wife that will cook with firewood for you.

Charcoal is the bigger picture you got for your own wife
Re: My Wife Refuses To Cook With Charcoal Stove! by Greystone: 4:08pm On Jan 23
From my personal experience, in marriage, things like decisions on the nature of energy used to cook should sit well with your wife for peace to reign.
For your peace of mind, just be refilling the gas cylinder and pay the light bill. Even if it means you cutting off some personal expenses to make this happen.
Trust me when I saw that this is not a fight you are likely to win.

Will a difference of 12 to 15k (price for refilling a 12.5kg cylinder) per month make your financial status any better? Did you carry her along in this decision? Are there no other expenses that can be cut? Expenses such as cost of fuelling your car, hangout with the boys, alcohol, peppersoup..?

That charcoal stove is not particularly stressful. It doesn't smoke either. He's just trying be financially sensible so that they can afford house rent, school fees, etc., and maybe save something to build their own house or buy a car. Why are you like this?
