Gas Cooktops

Gas. I cant stand electric. Gas is way more professional

No no, I want gas 100% for sure. I meant which gas cooktop should I purchase.

Sorry for confusion.

Depends on how much money you want to spend. Top tier would be something like Viking or Wolf

You'll probably want an electrician to come out and change the 240v circuit to 120v. Have a ball valve installed at the gas line. Tell them what model of oven you're buying, and they'll pick you out a flex hose and a flare coupling. You'll want to get teflon tape to connect the appliance coupling (included with your oven) to the regulator. Do NOT put sealant/teflon where the flex hoses attach to the couplings. If you can't do that, then just have someone come out and install it for you, numale trash.

As for features, just make sure you get something with 10,000+ BTUs or higher. Some ovens will have a 5k BTU burner for simmering, but fuck that. I want all four burners to have the same output. Electric ignition is nice, and will require a 120v outlet.

with the cafe series he posted the simmering burner is very necessary. you cannot turn the larger burners down low enough to simmer without burning shit without them going out. no idea if this is a problem with all of their models but it's certainly an issue with the larger burners on mine. the dual flame burners are pretty handy.

WTF has 240/120 VAC got to do with gas? I've had gas cookers my whole life and they run off gas alone. The ignition runs off a 1.5V D cell battery that lasts a whole fucking decade.

Some use outlets for monitoring stuff like flameouts.

If he has electric, then he almost certainly has 240v. If the oven and range both have electric ignition, a thermostat, clock/timer, etc. then he will need 120v.

It's a cooktop, oven is completely separate.
