Who knew deciding on a range was so tough? We agonized for months during a new build and finally found the BS. We had looked at all the regular ranges, plus Bertazonni (we thought it felt cheaply constructed) and something else I don't even remember. I drove quite a distance to see a BS in person and never looked back. Final decision came down to BS or American Range. We did NOT want electronics that would fritz out on us. Glad we went with our gut on that. We hope to never buy another stove. This thing is simple, straightforward, attractive and a dream to run. 12 months now into a 30" RCS. We were concerned about 15,000 btus, but it has never been an issue. Cooking is a pleasure. Total control. There were a few minor adjustments needed at the outset and a tech came far, far out of his way (we live in a rural area) to tweak it to perfection, and teach me the tweaks, too. It was set up for natural gas, but we run propane and since propane is heavier, it sinks before ignition and sparks need to aim down slightly. The tech/rep adjusted this with a needle-nose wrench and there hasn't been a single issue since. The local distributor said it was set up for propane. But... not. Miscommunication at that level, but otherwise complaint-free. One clicker got killed by a boil-over. BS sent a replacement and a spare overnight and it took about 3 minutes to install. I love the stove's simplicity. It is easy to clean. Good baking. Great stovetop. Drip tray is great. Very large oven for a 30" range. I love the darned thing! We are glad we did months of research because I had never heard of this make before. Never thought I'd be a big fan of a kitchen appliance. But go figure!

Okay, great - hmm, I am wondering why it can't be used to ground both outlets, though. I'm reading that sentence as "a ground wire coming from (these sources) is permitted to be grounded to (the ground bar in the main panel). That is, I thought 250.130(c) primarily dealt with where it's OK to ground to, ie, the whole grounding-to-a-water-pipe debate that I don't want to get into, but you know what I mean. Certainly, if I was installing an all-new circuit, that's how I'd do it - pigtail into each outlet - so I'm not 100% sure why that's not OK here? It's fine if it really isn't okay - I'm only REALLY going to be using one of these outlets, but since they're so close and it would be so easy to connect both outlets to this ground wire, it's tempting, for future flexibility. Definitely since I don't think we have any real means of getting a new ground wire up to the second floor, at least until we maybe gut the bathroom! :) I'm going to go ahead and drill my holes in the studs and knock out the spot for the outlet, at least. It's exciting to get some progress!

I've been a member for years. I mostly just read. I'm a mom of three, work part time, and I'm a musician on the side for fun. I'm quiet in a large crowd, fairly anxious in general, my friends call me chop chop, and I have a very healthy sense of humor. I'm also quite opinionated. I like coming here because sometimes I just want my own personal water cooler - I'm quite entertained at times here! :P

I knew she was ill and I was hoping that someone might be in touch with her. I think about all the KTers who have been so ill and are doing well and I am hoping for the same for Zeetera. There are so many kind, really good people here and I hope that our thoughts and prayers reach her. Satine
