Good point,
I had forgotten about gas fired brooders but they're actually not all that uncommon.
People need to consider that wood, propane, etc. could work easily because when brooding chicks, (thinking outside the box) you don't have to maintain a specific temperature. You only need a warm/hot space and lots of cool space. the chicks will find their comfort zone.
Even brooding with electricity, this is the way I do it. I never use a thermometer and have raised hundreds of chicks at all times of year this way with no health problems.
