We're really looking for a 24" gas cook top for our apartment. In June we're tearing up our 5' long entry-hall kitchen and "renovating" it top to bottom. We're ditching the old 20" gas stove, so old it's brand-name is faded away, and going with a cook top/wall oven option. The question is... which cook top... which wall oven?

Last night we went to a recently-discovered resource online, the appliances forum on gardenweb.com. Don't let the word "garden" fool you: this is the destination for consumer information about the home. The appliances forum is just one of many home-related forums where you can post a question and get an answer within minutes, like I did last night.

After one nay-sayer answer, I got an incredibly in-depth reply, retro-fitted for a blog post, with photos and all. That's up next...
