They are pretty well known for not being the most heat-retaining of stoves. We never cooked anything on it for the majority of summer because to add even more heat to the heat it gave off was unbearable.
The top of the griddle remains very warm to the touch whether or not we have it on. If we close the lid over the range, we can use it as a food warmer.
It might not be noticeable if you are in a place where it's cooler, but here, with 100+ days being not outside the realm of possibility, it's obvious how hot these stoves run.
In terms of gas-usage, when we had the gas guy out here to check on a leak, we complained about the gas bill and he said O&M have tons of pilots and burn significantly more gas, less efficiently, than a regular stove. Hence our very expensive bills.
I, too, am paralyzed with jealousy about Jesse getting to see Patrick Stewart in Macbeth. Although, I would probably faint, melt and any number of other things if I got to be that close to him.
Wow, Matt, it's utterly gorgeous!
Amazing, Matt, that's just beautiful!
Dude, I would kill or die for your windows.
I love the brick and the windows....so pretty!
That bank of windows was the #1 thing that made me decide to rent it. It kind of feels like I have one of those apartments you see yuppies living in in sitcoms. Except it has walls on all 4 sides.

Ah, I see. The pilot lights for our burners don't work so I guess we might not have the same problem.
