We recently remodeled our kitchen. It was a full gut job, and the kitchen moved to a different location. We replaced all the old appliances. But to answer your question on whether we'd make the same choices for the range again? Yes, the Bluestar 30" RNB range was the only appliance that we kept from the old kitchen. It's now almost ten years old. I cleaned it thoroughly and replaced a couple of parts that were worn; and it's as good as new.

We love this range. I wouldn't buy anything else. The burners are as close to commercial burners as you can get. And the oven works very evenly and reliably. Easy to get used to. The only downside is that it takes a long time to preheat (at least 20min). That's just a result of having such a big oven cavity. Even the 30" range holds a full commercial sheet. So, we are very happy that we also got 24" Miele CSO and SpeedOvens. They do a wonderful job supplementing our kitchen tools.

In fact, if I had to give you one piece of advice then it would be to shrink your 48" range to 30" or 36". I personally don't see much use in having such a big appliance; too many trickle-down consequences for the overall design that don't make sense to me. Then buy a CSO from the money that you saved. You won't regret it. Ideally get the plumbed model.

I see the theoretical appeal of a griddle, but in practice I have had much more mixed luck with it. I'd instead recommend buying a high-quality overlay griddle and the supplementing with a nice 14" round-bottom carbon steel wok and a couple of high-quality carbon steel skillets. Thanks to the great flame pattern on the Bluestar, you might discover that the combination of wok and skillet makes the skillet obsolete for 80% of what you'd normally use it for.

As for the range as a whol, I have recently had a chance to cook on an old commercial Wolf range from way back before Wolf sold their residential division. It's such a fun appliance to work with, and it honestly feels a lot like cooking on my Bluestar. But it's nothing like modern residential Wolf ranges. I think they have dumbed down the design much to the detriment of some of the core functionality.

following. I am looking at the same, all gas BS or Wolf.

Yes I agree there are better oven options out there but have limited cabinet space for wall options.
Any thoughts on the wolf ag option? Makes range too weak? Thanks for your thoughts

I have the 48” Wolf. Granted it’s 18 years old. It just had its first repair. My husband replaced the igniter and burner in the large oven. It’s all gas, propane in our case as we live out in the country. It is used constantly. I just made pumpernickel bread in the large oven and French bread in the smaller oven. My house smells divine. I chose the four burners with the griddle and grill, would not part with this stove.

I have both an electric oven and a gas one - there is no challenge... We have a 30" Platinum BlueStar and a Thermador 30" electric wall oven. We tend to use the BlueStar most of the time - DH uses it to make great, crusty bread but we also have baked pies and cakes in it too. We tend to use the Thermador when we're having company and an extra oven is handy.

I think I would agree with @maire_cate. I don't believe it makes much sense to pair an in-range gas oven with another full-size electric wall oven. You essentially have two devices that do exactly the same thing; and in that situation, the gas oven in your Bluestar range is such a nice appliance there isn't much reason to want anything else.

On the other hand what does make a lot of sense is pairing the in-range oven with other oven(s) that have a complementary set of features. In our case, we added a CSO and a SpeedOven. And the combination of three different types of ovens is awesome. I frequently use all three in the course of making one meal. The gas oven excels with huge capacity, even heat, an unrivaled broiler, and a design that I don't feel I need to clean much. The CSO is wonderful with the precise control over both heat and humidity and with the super precise low-temperature settings. Also, it preheats extremely fast. The SpeedOven makes for a great microwave since it doesn't have that annoying rotating plate, is a fully featured oven in its own right, can be used as an impromptu warming drawer, and yes, on occasion the speed function is a neat trick in particular for potato dishes.
