I agree - baking sucks. Stick to the stovetop and the grill.

wife says "where is the oven. Its not practical without an over."


Good point. ..and I bet those drawers and cabinets right under the stove get uncomfortably warm.

Overall, I think this stove is pretty rock'n. The flexibility to throw a big griddle on there for simultaneous evenly-heated pancake, bacon, and egg cooking, ..while still having a full stovetop of traditionally sized burners when they are needed is quite nice.
I think my biggest worry about this thing would be keeping it looking decent. I house sat for some friends that have a glass-topped stove and even a little drop of water on the bottom of a pan would instantly boil down to a mineral stain that was a pain in the but to remove.

The unwritten rules are like this:

Dag worries, with good cause, that one asshole's letter, from one asshole law-ya, will drain whatever coffers reserved for the goddamn inevitable.

Mr.Fisk, ya whining child-wonder all you ya will, this slippery slope affects your personal passion for beer, and tomorrow, if this site was not here, you could slink back to yer puter mommy got you for xmas, making yer swill stovetop beer, in bumfuck Nebraska or where ever the hell you live, and your memory, as well as ours of you, would vanish as quickly. I like ya, so take it personal, or not.

Go buy Alton's dvd's, go read a beer-makin' book, or wander up to some local enthusiats and get tips...collect bottles, get the gear (it's cheap)-fun hobby.

My hobbies are making people think outside their comfort zones, and pissing against high southerly winds.....and I have made beer.

I always vote for deep frying. Almost burnt down my apartment deep-frying in a pot on the stovetop in March. Since then I bought a deep fryer and have mastered french fries, which are trickier than you'd think if you like 'em perfectly crispy\chewy.

NEVER for stovetop use right?

Wow I feel like filling my Slush Mug up with chocolate milk and popping some Jiffy Pop on the stovetop!
