That's true. When I converted back to gas about 4 years ago
there was a 3/4" hole drilled into the floor and the stove
was connected via a flexible hose. I do like that as it allows
me to move the stove to clean behind it or if I occasionally
drops something behind it. Yes, I was able to move the smooth
top stove but I prefer the instant responsiveness of gas but
also liked the glass top stove as it acted like another counter
top when not in use.
