I am looking for my first gas range. I have narrowed it down to the 36" Fulgor DF or DCS DF. Any thoughts? thank you for your help

Add Jenn-Air to the list. I was set on a Wolf until my good friend told me about Jenn-Air. After much research I went with JA, and am very happy with it!

We have a Capital DF (propane) in our retirement kitchen (upping our cooking game was my main retirement goal so a lot of time and effort went into our choices). Bluestar was only range that was close to the Capital at the rangetop burner level--oven wasn't close. Have owned an AG Wolf for many years in the past and cooked several meals on relative's AG Thermador. Thermador was a surprise and with the full bundle discount it can be a good value buy. Wolf still seems to be wed to a sealed ring burner (not a fan). We have put the Capital through its paces on the rangetop (stirfry, panbroiling, saute, saucing and the like) and use the oven for roasting, broiling and specialty breads and flatbreads. Don't do cakes, pies and cookies so can't speak to those types of baking tasks. I would really encourage to look into service availability--including finding out the actual service firms you'd be using and seeing if they are trained on your products. We live in the rural south and the firm that handled Capital's service went out of business a few years ago and there isn't a replacement. We've had some repairs (some self-inflicted others product-related) that we've fixed our self with help from Capital's CS staff and some years back from Trevor Lawson. This problematic repair business also seems to apply to national brands like our Samsung Fridge which we've gotten to know too well. A caveat: There could be new and improved models out there that weren't when we were looking. I'm usually not allowed in kitchen and appliance stores given my cooking proclivities and a little impulsiveness. Good luck: it's a fun search and very rewarding if it works out.

To avoid this, I chose 36” Thermador all gas. We love the oven for its fast heating and the fan that runs is very quiet relative to my previous KitchenAid electric ovens. The cool down cycle is much, much shorter than the electric I had. I don’t have the clock/timer or self clean, just bake, broil, extended bake, and convection. The very low simmer on two burners is wonderful since my other half loves to make soups. We’ve never tried the chocolate chips on a paper plate trick, but he just finished cooking his oatmeal.
