Built in Cook top??

Postby camptyler » Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:05 am

Debating on whether or not do do a built in cook top or a standalone I could pull out and put on a side table.
I was warned doing a built in will lead to a greasy galley but I sure do like the idea of having everything self contained.
Here is the cook top I was looking at.
Thanks,

I like flexible. I have a single burner outside on my patio and do most of my stir frying, bacon, etc (pretty much all but boiling water) outside year round (wx here is mild and I hate cleaning up and lingering cooking smells inside).

My single burner looks similar to this:

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/ ... m_pla=Food Processing>Cooking Stoves + Burners&cm_cat=Nextag&cm_ven=Aggregates

Three knobs control the center ring and two semicircular outside rings. Lottsa heat when needed, and just a little when that will do. Not pretty, not light, but functional and flexible.

Easy to set up, easy to clean up, and a lot more flexible and powerful than a small range top.

Cheers,

Gus

Gus,
I may have to sit on this one a bit longer. You are right flexibility is nice and lingering food smell is not. And, the small built in cook tops really don't have any where near the same output as other stand alone stoves.
Hmmmm....

Cowboy,
What cook top do you have? Are you happy with it?
I keep going back and forth on this. At least I still have a little time before I have to pull the trigger on this one.
Thanks,
Tyler

We have a three burner Atwood with a stainless cover with side shields 7200BTU on one burner 5000 on the other two.
The cover makes a lot of difference and makes more work spce when closed. http://www.adventurerv.net/wedgewood-vi ... -2861.html
