Those of you who’ve used both, what do I need to know about the difference?

    I personally own a Wolf DF304. Arguably the best 30" duel fuel range on the market in the United States. It is spectacularly good and far far better than any other range or cooktop I have used in my 13 year + in the cooking hobby. I absolutely love the thing and I love cooking with gas (pardon the cliche) .

    With that said:

    Go buy an induction range/ cook top.

    They are far more responsive than gas (which is gas’s one real advantage over conventional electric), far more efficient, and they are far better for your house’s air quality.

    Gas range/cook tops had their day. Today there is an actual superior technology available and it is worth its cost.

    You absolutely must have a GREAT exhaust hood over a gas range.

      I’ve got a gas stove, and and a recirculating OTR microwave, as opposed to one that vents. So it’s running all the grease and fumes through a charcoal filter.

      Due to the placement of the stove and kitchen, I’m unable to swap to a real exhaust hood. Are there any solutions that don’t involve buying a new stove?

        I would look into running an exhaust to the outside. A business, or handyman that does kitchen remodels would probably be able to give you options.

        The latest research done on indoor air pollution is concerning and I personally think that having gas stoves exhausted outside is very important and worth the investment.
