Wood tops sound interesting. What kind of wood? Pictures? I think I
would like that situation. I have faux wood formica
countertops....butcher block laminated look. I love that look.

And I do prefer gas stoves. I grew up with electric stoves until age
21. Gas is just so more efficient, imo. My grandparents had some
enormous cast iron stove in their kitchen for 60 years or so. It was
heated with coal burning in the bottom. (They lived in coal country -
grandfather was a coal miner his whole career.
