Ugh! Gas pipe is preventing Wolf range install!
Comments (15)You do not need to get permits from the LPC for rerouting a gas line . . . unless the reroute somehow alters the visible, exterior facade of the building. Not. What you need for the reroute, though, is a permit from DOB (Department of Buildings). And, yes, rerouting will be somewhat of a big deal for you since you will likely need to do a gas shut-off to the whole building, not just your unit. And, yes, you'll probably need board approval and will probably piss off your some of your neighbors for a temporary gas shut-off, to be sure. Still, what are you going to do? Return the stove? Not complete your kitchen reno? Double NOT! Pissed off co-op boards and co-op neighbors or not, there is a reasonable answer to your problem. And a really experienced, very competent, licensed master plumber knows exactly what to do. Yet, it sounds like you are getting into a tizzy over this before having your plumber weigh in with a proposed solution. What does your plumber say? And, is he licensed? If not, now is the time to get some competitive bids (from licensed plumbers) for this problem. Not only will you get some "expert" feedback on your problem, but also, you will also have a much better sense of just how expensive the fix really is. Lotsa hugs and good luck!...See MoreNeed cooking advice for my new Wolf R364C charbroil/gas range
Comments (1)Have had Wolf with Charboiler for 7 years. I assume the design hasn't changed. Don't know if the "reverberator plate" is the same as my "blank off" plate, which is a small SS plate that you put on the IR honey comb to reduce the heat. For what we grill, usually don't use it to get a full sear (and does it ever sear). But, curiousity led me to buy another plate and cut it into about a 4" and 7" plate to give different heat levels and by putting one of the shorter ones towards the back for a two stage, front sear and rear cooler finishing part. Works pretty well. As for cleaning, we used to follow manual and put damp cloth over grid to soften it up, but saw in a Wolf cooking demonstration where they just put a shallow aluminum throw away backing pan right over the grid for about a 10" burnoff after grilling, and that pretty much vaporizes residue to a white dust. Then every few times just pop out the whole liner and get it with Bar Keepers Friend and a SS scrubbie in the sink. Hope this helps . . ....See MoreCountertop next to Range. Should it be Flush with Cabinet?
Comments (6)Most slide-in ranges now come with a lip around the edge that the countertop fits/slides under so there is no gap between the counter and the range for crumbs to fall through. Check the installation manual of your range. Your counter templater needs that information. Also pay attention to front-to-back, because the oven door must sit proud of the nearby cabinetry. The oven minus the door should be flush with the base cabinets, and the oven's door sticks out. That's so that when the oven's door is open, there is no exposure of the combustible material of the cabinets on either side. My range sticks out about 2", as it is supposed to do, which is the thickness of the oven door. When my oven door is open, you can see that the oven itself is flush with the front of the cabinets. The more "pro-style" ranges like the Wolf will stick out even more. The amount that the door will stick out depends on how thick and heavy the oven door is, and how the manufacturer designed the oven and door....See MoreFeedback on Wolf cg365c/s flush gas cooktop
Comments (12)This particular model has two levels of "flush". The "two-cut" approach does make the edges completely flush with the countertop, but as pointed out, requires extra fabrication. However there is another option which leaves just the thin stainless lip on top of the counter. In that configuration it drops in to the standard 36" cooktop cutout that works with most brands. It's not completely flush but very nearly so, and as such, is *way* lower that most cooktops or rangetops. Do note that you'll need to drill through the front of the cabinet for the knobs and although their height is somewhat adjustable you'll want to make sure that will work for your installation. Personally I agree with the op, the clean lines of this particular cooktop look way better to be than the more common look of both cooktops and rangetops. In addition to the flat lines. I especially like that the knobs are not on the upper surface. It seems more custom and similar to a rangetop and allows more space on the top surface as well as a better (IMO) appearance....See MoreMolly H.
