Hi mreloc, We ending up selling the house a couple months after that post. I believe we had another repairman come out - not sure if that did the trick or if it continues to require repair. Best of luck to you.

I would say that mine ingnites somewhere close to that one-minute range. It is my understanding that Wolf switched to spark ignitors in their new version of this range because they are supposed to be more durable (longer lasting) than the glow-type. However, I preferred the glow-type because they are silent and don't make that annoying clicking noise whenever they re-ignite. I figured having to replace the ignitor more often was a small price to pay for not having that annoyance. My range is fairly new, so I haven't had any issues. Have you already purchased this range, or just considering it? If you haven't already bought it, I would ask the current owner to replace the ignitor before purchasing.

Sorry gtadross i am unable to help you on this one, I have never worked on a BS with the rolling trays. I can only think BS copied the capital system with guided rollers, i have never taken these out either nor do i think they come out. Why do you need the whole tray out ?

I see it this way: there's a reason every other manufacturer has different burners with different max and min BTU ratings (or they only go to 16 or 17k BTUs)it's very, very difficult (some may argue impossible) for one burner to span nearly 23k BTUs and operate optimally at full on and simmer. Full on is the easy part but when it's on simmer there's not enough gas to support all the ports and it clicks (hence the sheet metal disk add-on) or flickers unevenly. The burner video on Eurostove's dedicated Culinarian website showing the burner on simmer has different ports going out and reigniting constantly. Everyone's might not be clicking but are everyone's ports (holes) all lit on simmer? Is the pattern uniform and consistent or flickering? Does the flame go out if you quickly go from high to low? Seems like they're doing retrofits and tweaks to keep the ports near the igniter lit so people don't complain. I doubt any change to the actual casted burner design has been made, just changes after the fact, sheetmetal add ons, drilling ports and messing with simmer settings. That's why I said maybe it wasn't quite ready for market.
