My friend's friend said that people in Britain only say 'stove' when
they mean a woodstove, and for any other kind of stove (gas, electric,
propane, etc), they say 'cooker'. (Obviously that would be any other
kind of cookstove, not heatstove.) Is there any truth to this claim?

My Mum bless her cotton socks is eighty-five and if you ask her she has a gas stove, (a free standing device with flame rings on the top and an oven under).

Her sister who a similar deviece has a gas cooker

You pays your money and you takes your choice

Hope this helps
