Not much save there "ENERGY STAR certified models, are up to 10% more efficient" However gas transmission only loses up to 2%, electricity transmission can lose up to 15%... Yet that's still minor compared to "Waste heat occurring due to inefficiencies in the process of converting primary energy to electricity. This makes up about 54% of the overall losses."

Ever wonder how much of the primary energy that goes into creating electricity actual provides useful work to us as consumers? Well the answer is not much – depending on the device using electricity it’s anywhere from 30% to as little as 5%.
And BBQ on electric, what's the point? Flame grilled or just use the stove.
Air fryers do very nice work though. For smaller things much more efficient than the oven.
I rather keep gas as alternative with temperatures going down to -20c in winter and heavy snowfall still causing power outages.
