My new gas range has one extra high BTU large burner in front right, a
medium sized burner front left, and two smaller equal sized burners in
the back. Then down the middle is a elongated center burner (with a
griddle or grate option over it which isn't too powerful but I use to
augment over-sized pans that straddle multiple burners.
