Do you have the 220 volts for dual fuel?

If not i can get it. I have an electric stove now and have gas in the house.

You don't say what size you are looking for but Bosch makes a few slide ins that fit your price range in a 30". You could also check Fratelli if you live in an area where you could see one. Maybe a Dacor Epicure would fit the upper end of your price range? Do a google on 'dual fuel range appliance' and go from there.

Under 3,000 you should be able to buy the kitchenaid pro range, I have shopped it in the NY metro market low price $2750 high price $3100 it is a dual fuel 30" range

If you can go up to $5K; I recommend the DCS duel fuel with 5 burners. It a 30" width.

I have it and it been worth the money because of the 17K btus burner in the middle and 16K fronts and 12K rears. Looks great too! Very close to commercial grade! Wolf makes a nice one too!

You might try the following link if you are not adverse to buying over the internet. They have a wide selection.

There are "pro" style ranges and pro "style" ranges. It all depends on if looks matters more than performance, which from the ones you're looking at, seems to be your fit. At your budget, you're going to find more in the latter category and you'll really have to up your budget or shop for a floor display or something to get into the first category. I'll tell you what bought, as I consider it to be the best compromise between the two in a 30" size, and that's a GE Cafe. While I wish that all of my burners were like the 18K one, in reality, I don't cook a lot of high heat items simultaneously, because I adapted to having the POS electric that I had previously. If you're also coming from the world of electric to the world of high BTUs, then I don't think you'll notice the difference between something like a Cafe and something like a Wolf. Even though there IS a difference.

Well we are not big time cooks. I am more looking for something that looks nice and is a decent reliable range. We currently have an old 30" whirlpool electric so I am sure anything we buy will cook better. I really do not want to go to $5k, maybe $4k at the high end. How are the jenn airs? Loook to be around $4k.

Well i have been doing more research and like the look of the Bertazzoni. Yes its all gas but I guess I could live with that. I know people prefer gas cooktops but tend to prefer electric ovens. What are the negatives of gas ovens?

Re the negative of gas ovens....I was asking about that as well before I picked a range. Especially when I found out what the $ premium was for dual fuel over all-gas. The conventional wisdom is that the dry heat of electric ovens is best for baking, although gas ovens are best for roasting. At least, that's what the appliance salesmen told me. But I had this niggling feeling that few of them actually cooked... So, I started asking around among my friends and relations who had experience with gas ovens. Only one of the six opinions I solicited recommended an electric oven. The rest, whom I know and whose cooking and baking I had regularly sampled, said "an oven is an oven."

So I now have a 36" DCS AG. I have to admit that this oven is taking a bit of getting used to, but I'm sure that is the case whenever you get a new cooking appliance. I haven't ruined anything yet, but I am having to do a bit of adjusting of times and temps. I've invested in an oven thermometer so I can second-guess the thermostat. And I just can't stop cooking!

When gas burns, it produces steam, so gas is better for baking breads (crusts) and making roasts. Electric heat is drier so it's better for cakes and other light baked goods.

An expensive gas range (like cooksnsews) DCS, will also have a very good, gas/infrared broiler that is much faster and hotter than any electric broiler.

I have had gas and electric and builders' grade to prostyle ranges and have to say that, in ovens, electric has the edge IMO. However, for the cook/rangetop, gas is the best of the two hands down and by a wide margin, again IMO. I would never sacrifice gas burners up top to have electric ovens but would sacrifice electric ovens to keep gas cooking up top. In my kitchen, I matched an AG range with an electric wall oven and love the versatility.
