Hello Kelly,

There is a picture in this thread at least, about 3/4 of the way down :)

I'm 110% biased on this of course, but Lacanche would give you the size and look you want (150 cm / 60"), for about the same price as two CornuFe put together and a quality that is on par with the Chateau line.

If your budget allows for a Chateau 150, then you might even be able to get a larger Lacanche (up to 87"), which gives you a lot more flexibility in terms of configuration.

IMO no one needs a 60” range in a residence ever unless you cook for 20 3 x a day this whole thing is overkill and the venting is not only expensive but really noisy . I run a catering biz with a 6 burner 36” range .

Patricia,

This seems to be your copy-paste answer to any question regarding anything larger than what "you" have.

If a couple wants to cook together at the same time, a 36" range won't do. If you want to have a built-in grill, a steamer and 4 burners in one place, a 36" range won't do. If you want to cook your main dish, sides and desserts at the same time, at different temperature, and keep them warm before serving, a 36" range won't do. You get the idea. There are many practical reasons for a larger range in a private residence, and above all, if someone wants the look, convenience and versatility of a 60" range and money is no object, why not? In the case of Lacanche or La Cornue, the range becomes a design feature of the home, just like a fancy dining table, a nice couch or a piece of art on the wall.

Ventilation will by default be more expensive, but not necessarily noisier.

One could even argue that catering is easier that way. No one gets to see your range (eliminates the design factor), you're most likely the main / only cook when you're working (no need for room for a second cook), the cooking can most likely be done in stages since it doesn't get served right away, etc...Different strokes for different folks, I think is the saying :) And if my memory serves me well, you also have a double wall oven along with your range, so it's not exactly fair to say that a 36" range covers all your needs.

If someone were to ask "I'm single and I cook once a week, do I need a 60" range?", I would agree with you. That's not the point here.

@Kelli Leonard, I suppose someone could put 2 ranges of the same size next to each other. But in some ways that seems overkill to have the same functions side by side. I’d either opt for a larger LaCornue... or as Patrick suggests, a Lacanche. I do own a Lacanche and I have to say it is dreamy to cook on. It is customizable and serves so many different functions. Beyond that, the customer service I have received from Lacanche has been second to none. Good luck in your search!

Thanks everyone, I will definitely look into the Lacanche. I read some online posts that they did not have good experience with the oven as far as ease of repairs go. I’m glad you have loved it!
