On mine, the set up is:
Front row: big, small, big
Back row: medium, big, medium

There is a picture in the new catalog of the Performer Series in a 36" and it looks exactly like Vickimp's set-up. There is also a note under the cook-top section that you can customize the burner arrangement.

Which all-gas model are you getting? (they make 4 all gas, and 2 dual fuel series)

The all gas models are: 1)Heritage (Sealed), 2)Cuisine (also Sealed) 3)Performer (open burners, but otherwise like the Cuisine in the 36" size), and the 4)Titan (Sealed burners with a step up level for the back burners).

Pretty confusing.

Vickimp, thank you. How do you like your range? How long have you had it?

Alexr, I should have been more specific. I am looking at the 36-inch, all-gas Heritage model. I've been researching for quite a while, and haven't made a final decision yet, but I just found the 36" Heritage display model for $3500. That is a great deal, but I'm not sure it's exactly what I want. I am curious about the layout of the burners because I think I'd prefer a range that has all burners the same size (like the Wolf) so that I don't have to shuffle pots around.

Boy I would get it. A friend of mine has a smaller version of that range and it has been great. Also, I am a strong believer in different sized burners, especially with sealed caps.

Just my opinion, but burners all the same size are a big mistake, even if they all have a super low simmer.

The problem is when you put a small or medium sized pan on and turn the heat up past low. When the burners are all the same size (too big in my estimation) the gas flames just shoot out the sides of the pan. It's annoying on all but your largest pans. Yes, you can simmer with a small pan, but you can't cook on medium or high.

The smaller diameter burners allow you to turn the heat up and have expectations of it going into the bottom of the pan, and not around it.
The arrangement Vickimp has seems to make good sense, medium burners in the back corners, that can do almost anything and provide parking for those things that you want to set aside on simmer or medium, a big back burner for pasta or a stock pot of soup, and a small burner in front of it for sauces or a quick egg, with the front corner burners for sautes/stir fry and big breakfasts etc.

I have no intention of dissuading you from your AR purchase. Seems like a good deal. That said, I have a different perspective on what alexr said about having burners all the same size. That's only true with sealed burners and some star burners. For example, the Capital Culinarian open burners are all 23K burners, but can be adjusted very low and at the low/simmer setting the flame gets very small and does not flow up the side of a small pan.

Anyway...you wont get 36" CC for $3,500 so i'd say jump on that deal! Good luck w/ your purchase.

My point is a small pan and medium to high heat with a large cap sealed burner.

However, even the open burner Culinarian suffers from this problem.
It's not the amount of gas flowing, it's the diameter of the outer flame circle on medium to high.

Two stage burners don't work either, because as soon as the simmer is turned up a bit, the larger burner floods the outside of the pan.

Hence the advantage of a range with various sized burners.
