What about induction? I don't know the cost of LP conversion, but it shouldn't be all that expensive to run a new electrical line/outlet if needed (40 or 50 amp, depending), which you're going to have to do anyway if you want electric oven and the correct electrical isn't there yet.

I switched from gas to induction in 2025. I was skeptical I'd like it better than cooking on gas, but yes I do!

I had the 36" Verona all-gas range for nearly 12 years (and then we moved!) and it was mostly really great. Two cons for me: the burners don't get all that hot (the BTUs are not super-high). and the larger oven isn't all that large. But I otherwise loved it because it it was all knobs with NO ELECTRONICS, all-gas, and the small oven, which can't hold anything larger than a 9x12 Pyrex baking dish, was terrific in the summer b/c it didn't heat up the whole house. No maintenance issues at all.

BUT!!!! I highly recommend seeing it in-person and taking your most-used bakeware with you to make sure it will fit.

I now cook on an SKS, which I also highly recommend. Their 36" all-gas range juuuuuuust eeks in under your price point.

I do think you should consider induction, as noted below. My SKS has both gas and induction and there's nothing like induction for boiling a pot of water 3x faster than on a gas burner!

The Electrolux ECFD3668AS 36" dual-fuel range performed well enough in CR's tests to earn a recommended rating. You can save $200 buy buying the nearly-identical Frigidaire PCFD3670AF. However the 30" Cafe C2S900P2MS1 also earned a recommended rating, has one more-powerful burner, costs thousands less, and HD owners like it.

@BPMBA I've noticed that so many ovens seem so tiny. Like, where has the baking capability gone? That frustrates me as well as I do bake a lot. I will look into SKS, however given my northern Wisconsin location, I'm limited with purchasing and also repairs, if needed.

@wdccruise thank you for the links to the other ranges, I will certainly look into them.

I just purchased a Bluestar 30" Culinary Open Burner Lp gas range. My most important option was the low simmer burner. It is fantastic! The range top is all cast iron, you can remove the grate and fit a wok right in there. If you want to cook at a lower temp you can invert a grate and place it on top of another for an even lower cook. The burners are the old Garland burners from commercial ranges. Bluestar purchaced Garland years ago to use those burners. You can also lower the burners more by removing the knobs and turning a set screw, I did this to lower the simmer burner even more. My Wife does a lot of baking and so far everything is coming out great! The factory does the Lp option when they build the order, so you don't have to pay to convert. IMO Bluestar is the best bang for the buck. I looked at Wolf, their all gas isn't anything special. Also, a heads up. An open burner on Lp gas.will have that pop when turned off, totally normal. It's old school mechanical, no circuit boards. Good Luck with your purchase! Hope this helps! You also can fit a 18"x26" baking sheet in a Bluestar!

Select an electric range with an induction top Even the chefs are converting

Beverly is right. There is a big conversion to an induction top for many reasons. But if you are happy with the traditional gas top/electric oven combination (as am I) you might want to look into Frigidaire. On AJMadison, it gets 5 stars. I have used Frigidaire for many appliances in two houses. I currently have a Frigidaire 5 burner cooktop (8 years old now) and an inherited JennAir double oven. They both work like a dream.

I have used AJ Madison for years since there are so many honest customer reviews of all appliances. Plus, their prices are great.

I purchased a gas Cafe range for my kitchen (30" not 36"). When I purchased it I talked to the local appliance repair guy and it is the oven he bought for his wife when they renovated their kitchen. He felt it had fewer repairs than others in this price point. His second choice was Bosch. He liked the KitchenAid at a slightly lower price point.

I got the single oven vs the dual oven. I didn't care for how low the larger oven was and didn't see a lot of need for the small oven.

I have been very happy with my new range.

I was going to suggest American Range, but they have discontinued their residential line. I’d get a Bluestar open burner range.

Recommend you consider induction cooktop. After a whole life cooking on gas, I am so happy I switched to induction - for the speed, the perfect control from bare simmer to rollicking boil, the lack of combustion products, and first virtue among equals - a breeze to clean. I no longer shy away from deep frying, doing steaks etc. For fear of grease spatter.
