I've had my rangetop for over a year and I love the burners; but there are some problems. The simmer is a joke even after it was adjusted. I can bring water to a boil on simmer! So I just push the pot off to the side. Does anyone know if they made a fix for this? The other problem is the griddle. the sides are cold and the middle hot, so cooking pancakes or anything else on it means waiting till the middle is almost burned before you turn turn the pancake around to cook it evenly. Is there a fix for this or do I just have to deal with a bad design on both the simmer and burners? The simmer should have been designed to only light the center part of the burner. Did they even test this before they put it on the market?? I hope Trevor or someone else who is aware of this has some answers. I know that a year ago there was talk of a fix and never heard back about it. If nothing else they should make an iron plate to put over a burner so you can put something on a true simmer. My old Wolf burners also had a couple of heat rings, and on simmer only the middle ring was employed. For as much as I love the burners on this range top, if I had to do it over again with the problem with the simmer and the griddle (which also sticks by the way which my Wolf didn't), I would buy the Wolf range top. Capital Culinaria has a chance to really fix their product and I hope they do. The materials used are of a high caliber and those burners are to die for if they could get that simmer issue re-designed, and the uneven heating on the griddle fixed.

Thanks for the replies guys... as for copyright, maybe you could consider it if you want to but it has way to many changes from the original. My cousin is an architect and said that it would be better off drawing from scratch than using their plan and modifying it due to all the changes. dekeoboe - As for simple, I like the look. It looks very large due to the garage in the picture. Lots of other plans that I have liked online are all much more complex as far as layout and the foundation plans. Lots of corners, shapes, more complex roof lines, etc. The actual house (while wide) would look like a normalish house in the area. The spiral staircase is the only way up and all furniture would be loaded from the upstairs balcony. The laundry room could use some trimming but Im not sure how to best do it. I guess the outdoor room off the garage could be bigger. This is where the water heater for the house would go. Also I will probably find a way to trim the extra closet (smaller one) and laundry out of the plan. When I get home I will do a screenshot of the lot. The neighbor on the left has a 5600sq ft house and the neighbor on the right 4600sq ft. For the most part they take up most of their frontage view. Lyfia - Tandem garage has been considered and may just happen.

Wow. Your reply was pretty rude. Not sure why you felt it was necessary. I asked here because I’d like to see pictures and be able to discuss with people who actually use the product. For someone who is considered a “pro” you might want to work on your people skills.

We had the beaumont flooring installed throughout our whole house (minus the bathrooms). When we purchased from F&D I noticed this specific color had been discontinued and was on sale (still expensive though!). I asked why and was told that the color was no longer on trend. I didn’t believe that but took his word for it and felt lucky the color I wanted was on sale! We bought 1800 sq ft worth, and hired their contracted installer. Prior to installing, I spoke with the main installer about the flooring and mixed reviews I had read. He assured me this is a top quality flooring and if done right with the proper underlayment, it will be perfect and last for a long time and that he had installed this flooring for years. So we went with his suggestions and had them install. 6 months later and we are experiencing the same buckling and separating issues mentioned in these reviews. We reached out to the installers about our issues and they came over to inspect. They said the floor shouldn’t be doing what it’s doing and that they would have to speak with their manager before any repairs can be done. But now we are unable to get anyone to take our call or call us back from the install/contractor’s office. They are avoiding us, argh!! I am hesitant to even bother contacting F&D, especially since their contractor is blowing us off. Has anyone looked into a lawsuit? I think we’d have a good case. Here are a few pics, but they don’t do it justice. It’s much worse looking in person.
