I find this whole p!ss!ng contest amusing. Frankly, I think any differences between the BS and the CC are negligible. Both are fantastic ranges. When I first started looking for ranges, I had one requirement. I wanted to be able to do wok cooking in addition to conventional cooking. So much so that I even contemplated installing a wok burner right next to a conventional range or cooktop. One by one, I started ruling out Wolf, Viking, Thermadore. Until I zeroed in on the 48" Capital Precision with four sealed burners and a hefty wok burner that can be used as a stock pot burner. Plus it came with a rotisserie! I thought it was perfect until I found the BS cult here. What? I can wok cook AND grill indoors? But I had to lose the rotisserie. Let's just say I happily drank the Kool-Aid. But then my kitchen plans stalled due to unforeseen circumstances. A year later, I started revisiting my kitchen reno. To my surprise, there was a new cult in town. And this time is was another product from Capital, the Culinarian, but it was still in pre-release. It was everything the BS could do and I get the rotisserie back! Then I had to stall my project again for another six months to find a new contractor. By the time I restarted my project, the CC was already in production. Without hesitation, I plunked down the cash and now it's in my garage waiting to be installed. In the end, I would have been thrilled with either a BS or a CC. I wouldn't rate one as better over the other. Features and aesthetics are all relative. The Culinarian was the best choice for me. And that's what's most important. I think they're both in a class of their own. They both represent great value in a cooking appliance, especially for a cooking enthusiast like me.

Yes, these vibrant blues are right up my alley. bungalow house, we did have a sample of van cortland blue on the wall before we went for the orange. It was probably the lead contender in blues (we had about 6 on the wall at one time, I think), but it looked different in my house than yours - much more gray, I guess because of our dark woodwork. Maybe I'll give the orange some more time. My husband thinks if I paint it blue I'll end up regretting that I didn't stick with my groovy orange dining room. My inspiration for the orange, incidentally, was this family room window: There's something about orange and bright pink together I really like - maybe it has something to do with Dunkin Donuts, lol. It makes me think of Pier 1 type accent pillows,sort of global or exotic looking, if you know what I mean. I wasn't ready to do the whole family room in Buttered Yam - way too intense! - so we ended up with fairly neutral Greenbriar Beige there, but since the window is highly visible through a large doorway connecting the two rooms, I thought the "crazy" orange might be right for the dining room. I do like the idea of blue accents/artwork with dark brown frames.

>>> What are you trying to accomplish? To know how much the AC portion of our monthly bill is, obviously. hehe Reasons: 1) I-told-you-so factor. We've had unit for a long time and even though it ran like a champ with few problems, it's been very inefficient. We're running 13k kwh/yr (way too high for our home w/out any major appliances like pool, spa, etc). We've been told this by 2 energy auditors, local utility, and other folks. It was much higher until I personally made DIY changes over the years, incld insulation (r45+ avg), duct sealing (14% leakage), sealing the envelope (1000 @50pascals), radiant barrier, cfl bulbs, reflective windows, weather sealing, .... Let's just say the AC is the last item being replaced and it probably should've been the first. Oh, I'm married BTW. 2) Estimate sizing for a new SolarPV system. I'll be over-sized if I use my current kwh usage, since I'm upgrading the AC at the same time as the panels. Need a baseline of old AC to estimate new with x% more efficient unit.... >>> since he is measuring from neutral (or ground?) co The CT is the CB panel placed on L1 hot side just before it connects to the control switch on the dbl-pole breaker. In my (laymen) terms, it's a big blue donut on the wire a few inches from the breaker screw.

Many of our rose gardening clubs have shows where hobbyists enter home-grown cut roses to win prizes. The venues may open as early as 6am, and bleary-eyed competitors stagger in, often having gone most of the night without sleep doing preparation. What saves them? Coffee and donuts!!! I'm usually just helping, rarely exhibiting, but boy do I look forward to those donuts. I rarely eat them otherwise, due to their lack of redeeming caloric value, but cake or raised, sprinkled or glazed, they are taaaasty!
