Thanks to klb 2000 who answered my question about 24" cook tops with extreme detail...
"Miele has a nice looking 24" cook top, although it doesn't really look have a commercial look, and like most of the 24" gas cook tops, it is a little wimpy in the BTU department..." ($729, Homeclick.com) - it has one 10,200 btu/hr, two 6,000 btu/hr, and one 3,400 btu/hr burner.
"Or, you could get an AEG cook top from EuroLine Appliances, a Canadian importer. Still not a commercial look, but I think the BTUs are better than the Miele..." (price?) - it has one 16,000 btu/hr, two 6,000 btu/hr, and one 3,400 btu/hr burner.
"DeLonghi also offers 24" cook tops..." ($469, Appliances Direct) - it has one 11,500 btu/hr, two 6,000 btu/hr, and one 3,500 btu/hr burners.
Nice finds!
I would love to replace our 28" Royal Rose with a 24" cooktop and a wall oven. The problem for us with cooktops is that the knobs are on the top, and our cats will figure out how to turn them on.
At least they'd have a hard time climbing into the wall oven.
