New Bluestar RCS model - Any Info? (RCS366BV2)
Comments (80)" I dunno if the gains are minimized due to the different architecture..." It depends on the ability of your pan to capture the heat. A capped burner has more flare when you turn the burner up to high. If you are using a 14" pan it is a good thing. If you have a smaller pan you may not be able to turn the heat up all the way. For some it balances out because they use the highest heat on the biggest pans. Other cooks want to keep the high heat in a smaller area for something like wok cooking or if they have smaller pans. If the heat goes around the pan, your BTUs are being lost. " Early on in my experience with my new BS range I realized that I wanted (needed) more BTU's for my style of cooking. " It is key to have an understanding of your own needs in the kitchen. "Anyone who is saying the 22k isn't worth the $$$ for the upgrade hasn't used both burners side by side. " While I would agree that there is a big difference in output between the two BS uncapped burners, I would disagree with this. I know many passionate cooks, that are perfectly happy with 15K or much less. I personally cook currently on commercial burners and in that setting, the beasts are useful but at home I just don't even turn my 15K burners up all the way all that often. I also know two chefs. One just has a regular all gas low BTU range at home and the other has a commercial range in his kitchen. We don't all think the same....See MoreBluestar RCS Sealed Burner

Comments (2)I wouldn't expect any noticeable smell of gas. Does this happen with all of the burners or just with one? Is there anything unusual about your installation? High altitude? LP vs. natural gas? No or undersized vent hood? Recirculating vent hood? If none of the above applies, I'd call Blue Star's service department and ask them if they have seen this problem before. A small temporary amount of leaked unburned gas is generally harmless. But it does seem unusual. I can't recall ever noticing gas smells with my Blue Star....See Morehas anyone converted their Bluestar RCS open burner to propane?
