Glad there wasn't anything combustible on the stove!
Some friends of ours had a pizza box on their stove. Their dog (lab, I think) put his paws up to sniff the box and inadvertently knocked the burner knob to the on position. 😬 Fortunately, they were in the next room and smelled the burning before it became a serious fire!

Wow! Reason to only have the controls on the back! I always picked those models because of all the kids...

I agree. I never wanted a stove with knobs on the front either, because of the kids. But apparently if you want a gas stove, they don’t put those knobs on the back. Gas is supposed to be great to cook on, but I love my smooth glass top so much, that I will just deal with any drawbacks that electric has. I would buy glass top again if I ever need to buy a new stove.

Oh, and I set combustible things on my stovetop all the time. No worries about it getting turned on by accident, but I guess I’ll just have to be mindful if we ever get a power outage.

I assume the Bobcat is 4WD? Would it maybe help to have chains on the front as well?

It might be really beautiful but WOW.... how much have you had???? I couldn't do it anymore.... don't even want to see any here except it would help with the ground moisture... Maybe into the new year when I am getting around better; we could have a little bit....just a smidgen....snow is better than rain for us this time of year.... BUT ..... NOT by the foot...
