Gas stove ban

Well there's always hydrogen gas stoves. Makes nothing but water.
See so I have a question about this. Wouldn't that just make a pool of water eventually on or below my stove as I burn it?...

I know it turns into water vapor but wouldn't that condense back to water around the pot from condensation. Also my stove hood that captures the grease and smoke would get full of water/moisture too right?

Well you get water from burning hydrocarbons as well. Where do you think the "hydro" in hydrocarbon goes?
Complete combustion of Methane (otherwise known as natural gas) yes I know incomplete combustion is a thing but forget that for a second
CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
Produces Carbon Dioxide + Water. Water can dissolve into the air, but in this case it is gaseous. All it does is makes the room more humid.
2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O
Water (gaseous) is produced as well, same as with methane. So, to get your answer, look at what happens when you use your normal gas stove, it's the same thing, except with no soot.
A couple of drawbacks with hydrogen stoves though:
- It's a very leaky gas, only top quality setups have zero hydrogen gas leaks. This exacerbates the next point
- It's highly explosive. Little old Jimmy decides to light a cigarette in his hydrogen + oxygen filled house and poor Jimmy gets blown to kingdom come.

I figured my question was stupid but still felt like asking it. 😅 Like the lil Jimmy set up at the end. 😂

No. Not stupid.
It's not intuitive that a weird colourless gas turns into steam and carbon dioxide when it's burned.
Glad you asked the question.
