Suggestions - Dual Fuel Range
Hi -
I am setting up a new kitchen and would like input on dual fuel range (prefer slide in) and vent. Would prefer to stay at about $2500 for both - but can go to $3000. And, I will be adding a microwave above the range (vent setup must consider this). I do grill some - and wondered about some of the ranges that have grill setup. I am not someone who bakes a lot of bread, cakes, etc. (so - do I need the dual fuel?). Your suggestions are most appreciated. Muggzzi |

There may be one but I haven't seen it. You just can't get the amount of BTUs indoors necessary for even mediocre grilling. And, of course, venting is a problem. Better to do your grilling outside. |

Thanks, Emma.
Makes sense - grilling isn't grilling without appropriate BTUs. How about the dual fuel range in this price range? |

I have not looked at prices recently, sorry, but last I looked it seemed like they were coming down a bit in price. You need about 15,000 BTUs for decent performance on the range. For awhile (and it still might be true), you had to get one of the premium models to get over 11 or 12,000 BTUs and I see that as a total scam. I am not sure if that is still true. I've been looking seriously at induction for awhile now so I have not paid too much attention. Watch for a good warranty, not one of those 1 year deals. Emma |

If you are serious about grilling you should really get a real hood
and good venting (blower motor outside). You will need 600 cfm or more. Locate the microwave elsewhere - over-the-stove microwaves do not provide adequate venting.
