Sparkling Water This is my first open burner range. So far I could not be more pleased. I have always had gas for my home stove, but this is a fair step up from the wimpy burners and "simmerers" I had before. Breezy There is a somewhat smaller Chef King that would be easier to store. You might check it out. It will still fit over 2 burners, I think. I just can't wait to fix pancakes on my big one! I used the wok ring tonight for the first time. I really like it. It is designed to contain the heat on two opposing sides and vent extra heat out the other two sides. This maintains cooler places you can pull foods that don't need the high heat. You can also position the wok so the handle(s) are protected by the high sides from heat. It heated wonderfully, of course, on the CC. I am very pleased that I ordered the wok ring with the range. I love stir fry, and this works better than a skillet. And much better than my wok used to on my old JennAire. You do want a good sized wok, not a 10 or 12 inch one. I think they recommend 14". Trevor, I think, has a nice video on using the wok grate. This post was edited by Bellsmom on Mon, Aug 4, 14 at 9:50

All comments and critiques are welcome...I want to learn all I can! close up

My exchange package arrived! A big thank you to JoAnn for all my wonderful goodies. My kids instantly used all their stickers but I'm not sharing the candied orange peels with them, they are too good! ;) I can't wait for the next cold night to try out the hot pack and I already put the tissue holder in my purse and clipped my purse charm on. Thank you again JoAnn, and a very merry Christmas to everyone!
